Poor direction creates problems That's why Sonny Gray draws two lines down the mound before he pitches • The lines give him a visual tunnel to throw through • They help him stay directional down the mound • Youth pitchers often yank open instead of landing in line • When you land open, you usually miss arm-side or lose command • The goal is simple: land in line, throw more strikes, and protect the arm • ThrowMo gives young players a way to actually feel the direction instead of just seeing lines However you do it, locking in direction down the mound can be a game changer for a pitcher in so many ways If you think a @ThrowMo could help you, use the code "ThrowMoMURPH" at checkout or find it in my bio #baseball #youthbaseball #pitchingdrills #sonnygray #baseballboys

FEEL vs REAL finally explained ⤵️ Sorry to leave you with a cliff hanger, I'll post the other tomorrow. But I'll break it down here: Most misses particularly in the MLB happen to be swinging under the ball. (None of them really swing legitimately downward at that level vs high school you'll see it) Well sometimes the body naturally create too much tilt when we rotate and we end up working low to high For most, fastballs beat this swing 95% of the time. This is where the FEEL vs REAL really comes into play: The first clip of Pujols he's swinging flatter. But his practice cue he shows as knob to ball and barrel chopping down So his feel is down, but that's not the reality of his swing...same goes for Arod, Trout, Bonds, etc This is because that FEEL is what LEVELS out the swing, counteracting the tendency of most to dip under the ball There are backspin benefits and objectives there, but the main goal is to swing ON PLANE with the baseball. Because of logic. The longer your bat path matches the path of the pitch, the more chance you have to make contact and traveling through the middle of the ball can make you barrel the middle of the ball. Now there's the contrary which is a guy that is a natural downward swinger and their FEEL is the REAL. It's more common for more athletic, smaller frame players to have a more natural downward tendency. Like Mookie You see that clip of him working on the movement into the slot - which allows him to work behind the ball. This is more in line of what many high schoolers need - an understanding of pitch plane and matching it with out bat path I'll explain more in next video, but yeah hitting can be complicated. Bottom line common tendency is to swing under. So players' cue is to swing down. Counteracts each other to create flatter swing. On the contrary and more applicable to HSers, if you swing down, you need to swing more up. And working on turning into slow can help. #baseballboys #hitting #mlb

Without balance, we can’t execute what we are trying to do So if you have trouble holding your finish, it’s probably an indication that you have an imbalance somewhere in your motion Try these simple drills out that help you emphasize this back leg stability so you can control your weight better and CREATE MORE POWER 💪🏽 • • • #baseball #hitting #pitching #baseballboys #mlb
