Balanced Stance

Lower Half

Find a stance that allows you to control the direction of your body, intent of your swing, and timing of the pitch. To control the direction of your body forward you need to first control your negative move into your back hip. The back hip can only be controlled by setting early flexion in your back knee and by creating coil in your backside glute. This allows you to put maximum force into the ground, allows your head to not move as much, and begins the sequenced chain of events that will make up your swing.

Upper Half

Begin with your hands in a position that will easily and repeatedly find their way to a coiled launch position on a consistent basis. Create some early forward tilt with your shoulders to help your body move naturally into position to be behind the baseball at point of contact.

Simply…

Coil into your back hip without your front shoulders diving forward. Be in control of your body.
