Pitching Mechanics: ABSOLUTES

There are absolutes and styles. An absolute is a movement that is common in all of your better pitchers.
Absolutes

• Pre-pitch weight shift
• Heel drive forward BEFORE turning 
• Stride direction and height to establish pitching ally
• Sequence: stride foot lands while pitching arm is around 1 o'clock, then shoulder elbow wrist, fingers
• Pulling the ball through and rotation at the hip

• Drive back leg into, not around front leg
• Snap and relax the arm. It will always be across the body... do not force the arm straight up

 A style is something that each pitcher may do slightly different, like slapping their leg.
