Posture

• Postural inefficiency is the most common mechanical throwing flaw.

• Postural change late causes inconsistency in location and affects endurance and recovery.

• Major contributor and cause of arm injury is sudden change of direction or "disconnect" late in delivery.

 

 

Arm Action Efficiency

• Throwing arm should not stop or pause during the throwing process.

• Arms work in unison (opposite but equal), fluid, dynamic, athletic.

• Throwing arm acts like a whip avoiding long, slow, arm action.

 

Tempo

• A pitchers tempo is unique to each individual and generally is too slow.

• There must be a rhythm and tempo throughout the throwing process in order to create optimal synchronization (a tight linkage between parts).
