One thing that I have used to get players to understand how opening the stride toe is not good is to compare the pitching stride to a hitter’s stride. You would NEVER see a hitter point his lead toe towards the pitcher as he strides to begin his swing. It would leak all his power and pull him off the pitch. A hitter has to stay closed to stay on the ball. The same is true with pitching. A pitcher has to stay closed traveling down the mound. Most kids get this analogy immediately.
