Use your legs. Use your lower half. Sounds great but, “what the heck does it mean”? Coaches often cue this as if it’s one single thing. In reality, a proper use of the lower half has 4 different but connected and sequential components. In this 4 part series on lower half pitching mechanics, we’ll take a closer look and break down what I consider to be the 4 big plyers we need on the road to an efficient lower half:
-
- Part 1 – Drift
- Part 2 – Load
- Part 3 – Drive / Rotate
- Part 4 – Block
Let’s kick off Part 1 of this series with component #1 – Drift. Continue reading “Lower Half Pitching Mechanics: The Drift — Simplified (Part 1 of 4)”
