Reply to "Lower half pitching mechanics"

Your knee collapses when your weight goes to the ball of your foot. Often this can lead to a weight shift towards the pitching arm side. (towards third for a righty) If you will set up with the weight on your posting leg centered in your foot, or even slightly heelward, you will be able to drive in a straighter line to the plate. You should feel the drive come from inside the socket of your posting hip, not your posting knee. This will reduce your possible tendency to drift arm side. If your are trying to drive from your posting knee, you will bend to back knee so you can push with it. I don't think this works as well.

 

I can't really comment on your arm path without seeing any video. Your command will improve if your drive direction becomes straighter to the plate and you are better able to maintain your posture.

 

Good luck,
