When the hips or front shoulder want to work up hill, just think about how the best pitchers rotate their back hip slightly down hill. Feel yourself trying to capture that downhill rotation just before rotating behind the ball. Hossjob Hitting

Hip rotation is one of the primary drivers of velocity during the throw. Both speed and timing of rotation matter. The goal is to have the hips rotate out in front of the torso. Ideally, you want rotation to begin quickly after the front foot strikes the ground. The speed of rotation is also critical. I strive for all QBs that I work with to be 800+ deg/sec with hip rotation speed. One key thing is to not mistake “sliding” for rotating. Many will push and slide their hips forward as opposed to rotating against a stable lead leg.

🚨 Jarren Duran Swing Breakdown • Slow + balanced load into back hip • Moves “downhill” to the ball • Front hip & shoulder stay closed • Head down + extended at contact ⭐️ Great example of the similarities between pitching & hitting!

The difference in the way Drew threw in HS/college and what we saw in the videos from the Steelers rookie camp is extremely subtle (basically a slight adjustment w/ the front leg and zero change to his upper half or arm path/slot) and most wouldn’t be able to pick up on it. I disagree that he was early with his external rotation during college. The video below (from 2024) shows his typical approach over the past 7 years…staying loaded and coiled on the back leg until the front foot makes contact with the ground. The drill is designed to keep him loaded in his back glute, and maintain the discipline to not fire his hips early, until his front foot gets down. His front foot and hip slightly clear (while staying coiled in the core) to allow the hips to come through cleanly. That slight opening of the front hip, along with the slight closure-internal rotation-of the front shoulder is how hip-shoulder separation is created. Getting the hips to come through first (while the shoulders and arms stay back), then the torso, then the shoulders, is how hip-shoulder separation (power) is maximized. Learned that from Chris Hess and it’s been a fantastic tool.

Throwing drill to work on hip + shoulder separation which increases velocity. 1. Start palms down, elbows up. 2. Ball then goes straight up while hips turn and glove slightly tucks, feeling separation of upper half and lower half. Think, hips are pointing forward towards your target while shoulders stay square (rubber band effect) . 3. Front side doesn’t fly open when turning. Keep the glove tucked. 4. 2 dry reps before throwing on the 3rd rep. For those of you who don’t sequence correctly or shot put the ball, try this one out.

Young, springy athletes have to feel strong. To feel strong they have to create stretch (tension). If they cannot properly create tension in the right spots they WILL find or create tension in the wrong spots. This often leads to pulling the front shoulder, standing up, or dropping the hands.

Are you really “dropping your shoulder”… or are you just leaning back? Big difference. When you lean back, you lose posture and tilt your spine away from the plate. That makes the barrel work up too early instead of staying through the zone. We want length through contact, a connected, slightly upward path that stays in the zone a long time. That’s what gives you margin for error and consistent hard barrels, even when timing isn’t perfect. The back shoulder should always work down and finish through. Even on elevated pitches, it will typically finish just under the front shoulder, hands just need to stay up. That’s good rotation with posture. That’s not collapsing or drifting backward. Emma Pynes made a money adjustment here. Her contact quality was already strong… now it’s about to get better 🙌🏼 Tennessee Softball commit Tampa Mustangs Rene

Since Drizzy fans think I only talk to feel important, let’s see if Drake went back and forth with a 19 year old just to outshine the positive changes MAKE OUT HILL - XXX was trying to make.. how Kendrick Lamar ended up in the middle.

Some hitters constantly pull off the ball or get spinny. One reason could be related to Motor Shoulder. Every athlete has one shoulder that naturally sits slightly in front of the other. That shoulder often becomes the one that helps drive direction during rotation. In Motor Preferences we commonly see two patterns (with nuance): Back Motor Shoulder Keep the shoulders more in line with the pitcher so the back shoulder can work through and drive direction. Front Motor Shoulder Allow the athlete to load the front shoulder in so when rotation happens they can maintain direction through the middle of the field. The goal isn’t to force the same swing. It’s understanding the ranges of motion the athlete naturally organizes around and coaching toward them. We go deeper on Motor Shoulder and Motor Preferences in the Level 1 Baseball/Softball eCourse.

"He's pulling his front shoulder..."⁠ "She's stepping out..."⁠ ⁠ These are two of the most common complaints I hear from coaches and parents about their Youth (& HS Players).⁠ ⁠ Great coaching isn't just identifying a problem. Great coaching is identifying the problem, finding the root cause, and determine a viable solution. ⁠ ⁠ If hitters are pulling their shoulder (or head) or stepping out, learn how to figure out what is causing them to pull their shoulder/head or step out. It's almost always a motor control/coordination/motor visual issue. Hossjob Hitting

Everyone obsessed with that front shoulder “up”at toe touch… listen up. When you land at toe touch → heel plant, the front shoulder benefits the hitter more if it is slightly down or at least parallel. Not shrugged. Not lifted. Why? Because when that shoulder pops UP, your torso dumps all the tension you created during the load. No tension = no stored energy. No stored energy = you’re not maximizing rotation, swing path, or power. Period. It’s been this way since the beginning of time (uh not really, but you get the point) — and it continues to prove true. This is how hitters maximize their own power, no matter the size.

Points to think about when picking the ball glove side: •Work ground up. •Fingers stay down, wrist stays flat. •When working outside of your body frame, just use your glove hand. •Turn your body to where the ball is going.

Pedro Martinez on adjusting his delivery to move the ball inside vs outside.🤔🔑 Notice how he's not course-correcting with his hand/wrist at the last second (as some do), but rather is talking about making a full body micro-adjustment, subtly shifting the direction of his entire delivery. When pitchers try to get the ball glove side by course correcting at the last second with the hand, this usually results in the ball being yanked or cut. It's worth pointing out that these are his feels. Pitchers don't actually release the ball that far in front of their face, and pitchers without good hip internal rotation like him won't be able to land that closed off with the front foot. But the underlying point still stands. Ignore HOF players' feels at your own peril. The feel is what creates the real. Finding out what was going on inside the heads of the greats is just as important as observing how they actually moved/performed. 📽️ MLB Network

This is one of the best best hip mobility drills you’ve never tried. This split squat isometric with an emphasis on pressure into the foam roller, will help you bias improving either internal or external rotation of the hips. It just depends on how you set it up, but it’s easy to do either.
