Stride too far?

Rock 44100+ posts

I'm a pretty big guy but i dont that hard. Most people say i have pretty good mechanics. coach told me the other day that i stride to far, and that my foot needs to be pointed directly at home plate. I've been throwing bullpins and working to correct this but what are some of yalls opinions on this?

Without seeing your stride it is hard to give an opinion.
Big guys should have a big stride. Your foot should point at homw plate but ho necessarily when it lands. As you finish you pitch the foot should rotate slightly and should end up pointing towards HP.
There are thousands of books that will give you an idea of what your stride should look like.. There also have been a pile of great pictures posted on this site in the pitching section.
