Having trouble with walks? This quick pitching tip can help you turn those walks into strikeouts by focusing on your landing stability. Many young pitchers struggle with pointing their toe down upon landing, which causes them to lose balance and prevents a strong finish.
Achieve Stability for a Better Pitch
-
Extend Foot with Toes Up: At the leg peak, extend your foot with your toes up.
-
Heel-First Landing: Land heel first and then rock onto your front leg.
-
Stable Front Leg: This allows your front leg to be stable.
By extending the foot with toes up, pitchers can land heel first and rock onto their front leg, creating a stable base. A stable front leg is essential for finishing the pitch effectively. This adjustment helps maintain balance and control throughout the throwing motion.
