Want to throw harder? It all starts with understanding how to properly engage your body’s kinetic chain. Many pitchers mistakenly focus on their upper body, which actually hinders their power and velocity. Instead, the key is to initiate the motion from your lower half. Here’s why and how:
Optimizing Kinetic Chain for Pitching
-
Lower Body Engagement: Begin the motion with your lower half. Look for a slight bounce or rhythm.
-
Generate Force from the Ground Up: Starting from the lower body allows you to generate initial force effectively.
-
Kinetic Chain Enhancement: By starting with the lower body, you harness the entire kinetic chain to maximize energy and velocity.
Focusing on lower body engagement allows the rest of the kinetic chain to amplify that energy, resulting in maximum velocity and power. Don’t make the mistake of starting with your arm; it’s a surefire way to limit your potential.
