Why Do You Miss Your Target?
You don’t miss the target by accident.
Every missed pitch is the result of a movement breakdown that begins long before the baseball leaves the hand.
Most pitchers are taught to blame their arm, release point, or confidence.
The real problem is usually the sequence of the delivery.
- When the body moves out of order, the throwing arm is forced to compensate.
- The front foot lands before the body is ready.
- The hips stop leading.
- The glove hand fails to initiate the lower body.
- The throwing arm takes over, trying to create both power and accuracy.
Notice where the glove hand is.
- The glove hand never moves across the body to trigger the hips.
- Your front foot lands before the lower body has delivered the motion.
The result is inconsistent command, forced velocity, and a delivery that becomes difficult to repeat.
At Pro Pitching Institute, Coach Skip teaches Sequence Over Strength™.
Instead of chasing the baseball with the throwing arm, you’ll learn how to build your delivery in the proper order …
Starting Position → Glove Hand → Hips → Front Leg → Throwing Arm
Each movement prepares the next.
When your glove hand initiates the sequence…
- Your hips create direction,
- Your front leg receives the movement, and
- Your throwing arm is free to deliver the baseball.
That’s how command becomes repeatable. That’s how velocity is transferred efficiently. That’s how your body—not just your arm—throws the baseball.
If your pitcher struggles with missed targets, inconsistent command, or mechanics that never seem to stay fixed, the answer isn’t another drill.
