the science behind pitching – pitchers power drive
- Correct departure sets up successful delivery and direction through landing
- Pelvic loading and Hip Lead creating momentum and power through delivery
- Hip lead creates maximum hip to shoulder separation angle 16-28% creating power & momentum
- Leg drive to extension creates, power directional momentum and force toward home plate .
- Proper weight transfer and drive creates optimal hip to shoulder separation and maximum hip speed rotation for velocity
- Power transfer creates proper front leg posting, knee reversing to post
- Hip and heal lead to keep weight on back side
- Pitchers power stride sweep to create power, stability & direction
- Foot creates ground reaction force as the foot drives in to the rubber for back leg drive to extension
- Scapular load unloading for power & velocity
- Timing upper & lower creates maximum arm whip and external arm rotation for velocity
- Great front side direction and extension to ball release
- Arm Pronation results in high spin rotation of ball
