Ball flight can start before the ball ever leaves the hand. ⚾️

How we separate out of the glove — and how we preset the hand and wrist — can help promote the type of ball flight we’re looking for.

The goal isn’t to force movement. It’s to put the hand in a better position earlier, creating a cleaner path into release and allowing each pitch to move the way it’s intended to.

Small adjustments in hand separation can create big changes down the mound.

WRECKING BALLS. This is one way we work with our pitchers to catch their arm swing momentum at foot landing rather than muscling up through hand separation. Let your arm swing up and use your hand separation/arm swing as a way to stay back/closed and promote more efficient shoulder hip separation. Let your lower half go to the plate and leverage your arm swing as your counter rotation mechanism. Shoutout MILEY

There’s no perfect drill — I don’t think one movement pattern deserves all the credit, and I get the purists who say let mechanics develop naturally before fine-tuning. That said, drill work still matters when it’s done with purpose. But not every drill is meant for you — some will actually take you the wrong direction, and busy work isn’t productive if nothing’s broken. Skip it if you can’t tell whether it actually helps how you throw. ⚾

Most underrated part of Trackman Baseball is their video comparison model that allows us to view two pitches at once. This gives our trainers and players better feedback each rep. What do you notice between these two clips?
