Assuming you do need to stride 4-8 more inches, measure and mark the spot that you want your front foot to land. Go through your pitching motion repeatedly, making sure you stride far enough. It will become a habit after sufficient repetitions.
Anytime you want to control stride, you have to control your head. Sounds funny doesn't it? The best way to achieve this that I have found is to tell yourself to step down, down, and then out. It makes you stop rushing which, in turn keeps your head back which often leads to improper foot placement.
