ill Pitcher's Guide to Leg Mechanics
Everyone=
knows
how important the post leg (leg opposite the pitching hand) is to a pitch=
er's
strength and accuracy. Here's a drill to ensure your young hurlers land in
the best possible leg position after a pitch. The Problem Pitchers=
often
get into the bad habit of swinging their post leg out away from their body
and eventually opening up or closing too soon. This can lead to wildness =
on
the mound and increase the possibility for injury. The Solution Get a fo=
lding
chair and place the back of it close to the rubber towards the third base
side. If the pitcher is left-handed, place the chair close to the rubber =
on
the third base side of the mound. Let your
pitcher assume a wind-up position and begin their delivery. As the pitcher's left leg rises, watch it as it comes down =
and
through the pitching motion. If the leg hits the chair at any time, one of
two things is happening: They are
swinging it open, causing the hips to open up too soon. They are
driving towards the third base side of the plate (first base for lefties),
causing them to throw across their body. Finally,=
as
the plant leg is placed, the arm comes through the slot and the backside =
is
released. To ensure a good back side, the right leg must be lifted high
enough so that it clears the top of the chair. This ensures that the pitc=
her is equaling out the force from their throwing arm. It's all=
about
physics, specifically As with any dri=
ll, do
this in repetition, even while the athletes are doing pen work. It will p=
ay
off dividends later, and should keep the pitcher from some serious injuri=
es. For more tips c=
