Good preliminary movement BackswingStructured force producing
movementCritical instantFollow through/recoveryAll steps must be done to achieve
max. power

The initial movement to start the motion
Usually involves a push or rock back and forth of the body
Gain momentum for the motion
Make sure this is understood before moving on
*preliminary power comes from legs*

Before any movement there’s a backswing
Momentum Without backswing-
no power Right before the
main movements Swing back of the
arm

Most important! Leg push is a must Drive towards the
floor then push off mound
All leg muscles engaged
Almost a start like a runner
Drive forwards as hard as possible

The ball is being released in this phase
MOST SPEED in the motion
Want it to be like a whip
Snap the wrist for more ball rotation
-more speed

Bring wrist up to shoulder after wrist snap
Return to a forwards position
Legs become parallel to each other
Arms return to a relaxed position

SAGGITAL PLANE – HORIZONTAL AXIS
Starting position Preliminary
movement backswing
TRANSVERSE PLANE – LONGITUDINAL AXIS
Force producing movement (opened up)
Critical instant Back to relaxed
position (recovery)

Body is always within a powerline
If not in line, power is decreased lowering speeds
Should hit positions lie 12 o’clock (left arm as shown)
Open up completely sideways
Arm is a third class lever Easy, but powerful Lots of force and speed

If all these phases are perfected… You will be on your way to pitching in a game
Keep key points in mind Always perform the most proper
mechanics
