Pitching is, fundamentally, a rotational movement. Yes, there is a linear component, but a pitcher must ultimately be able to transfer that into rotation for that energy to efficiently make its way from the ground and into the ball.🔑 How does that energy work its way from the GRF on the back foot into the upper half among the most efficient throwers? Is it a "car crash" where the back leg violently extends, followed by a front leg block that linearly catapults the upper half forwards? A careful analysis of the hardest throwers reveals that this linear view of the lower half is incomplete. 1/

One of the biggest differences between a big leaguer and an amateur? Their catch play. 🎯 ✅ Big leaguers miss by inches and adjust immediately ✅ Lower-level guys miss without making adjustments Consistency in catch play is what separates the levels. 1/
