- In this video, we're going to show you how a 15u pitcher who attended a 3-Day Core Velocity Training Program corevelocitybe... where we introduced movement mazes.
Here's the thing. If you identify the real cause of the problem which will be found in the beginning of the delivery. Change the one teeny tiny movement flaw and you change your pitching mechanics instantly.

So what exactly did you change? Other than the kool aid?
keeping his back on ground until his heel strikes.
go to 0:28 and slow it down to 0.25, and watch how the back leg actually worked on the right.
This is quite late, but since it just came up for me in recommended.
For those who don't understand, there is actually 2 things going on here, he was engaging the back leg before he made contact with his posting leg(front leg). He was also not utilizing triple extension as a consequence of doing so, in the first image, if you watch closely, what he does is roll the foot forward and then try and push off the 'ball' of his foot similar to how you would if you were trying to do side to side jumps or push yourself forward at the start of a very hard sprint.
This caused him to initiate torso rotation before his hips and shoulders were fully separated meaning he was 'flying open', leading to a late arm in the delivery which causes additional force to be dissipated through the front leg and torso rotation.
The change here was that he went from that more jumping style to triple extension, which is extending the hip, knee and ankle simultaneously. In this instance specifically, he is no longer trying to 'propel' himself through the air and land on the post leg, he is simply shifting his weight from his stable back leg to his stable front leg. This allows him to extend the ankle, knee and hip simultaneously which is why it looks more like a fluid 'straightening' motion instead of a much more 'rolly' motion in the first one.
I am not entirely sure the queues that were used. I would having them exaggerate it and delay pushing off the back leg until after the front foot is fully in contact with the ground and then push off, and then getting them to work backwards from there by initiating the back leg slightly sooner each time until they get the hang of it and get to the perfect timing.
I would kind of think of it like the concept of.....
Imagine trying to do consecutive side hops quickly, but one person has to do them without allowing both feet to touch the ground simultaneously, and the other person has to do it without either foot leaving the ground simultaneously(basically just standing and shifting weight back and forth). Clearly you have significantly more control to transfer weight from left to right when both feet are in contact with the ground compared to having to be fully airborne, catch your entire weight and then reposition your body to jump in the opposite direction again. That's what happened here, the post leg being in contact with the ground allowed a much more stable and smooth transfer of energy from the back leg to the torso then trying to jump from one leg to the other.
Uhh, a little explanation would help lol
Ha yeah , magic kool aid
I’m not seeing the difference even after slowing it down a lot.
Back half is staying in the coiled (back) position longer. Hips shooting harder first and then torso follows.
