Stop Getting Into Your Back Glute.

One of the biggest mistakes pitchers make is thinking that putting force into the ground means pushing hard into the quad.

A lot of guys think they need to stick the knee out, load into the quad, and drive from there.

What we actually wanna do is get into the back hip and the back glute.

The problem is that people constantly tell pitchers to “get into the glute,” but nobody really explains how to do it.

The easiest way I think about it is creating a pinch at the hip.

There’s a diagonal line between the thigh and the abs.

What you wanna do is pinch that area together.

If you put something like a pen there, you should be able to hold it in place without it falling.

Once you create that pinch, all you need to do is get into that same position during the pitching delivery.

Now you’re automatically loaded into the back glute.

So during the leg lift, I’m thinking about getting into that pinch position.

When you create that pinch, you can’t really load heavily into the quad at the same time.

That pinch helps counter rotate the pelvis, gets you into the glute, and puts you in a really good position to move down the mound and unload at foot plant.

60: 6.60

Max EV: 97.6

The @PB_Uncommitted OF from SA was good at the NTX Uncommitted Games yesterday.

Ran a 6.60 while showcasing good range in the OF and posting a 97.6 EV in BP with some untapped power in the barrel.

Put together QABs in game and added a knock from the left side. 💪🏻
