⚾️ OPENING UP TOO EARLY? LOSING YOUR DIRECTION DOWN THE MOUND? SAVE THESE 4 TOWEL DRILLS. 🔥

Watch college pitcher Cody Burrow work through these movements with control and purpose.

The focus: keep the front shoulder closed longer while moving down the mound and maintaining the load in the back hip.

🔍 THE FLAW

When a pitcher’s chest and front shoulder rotate open too soon, it can disrupt the timing between the lower half and throwing arm. Losing the back hip too early can also make it harder to move toward the target with control.

That can leave the pitcher struggling to repeat his delivery and release point.

🔧 THE FIX

These towel drills give the athlete an opportunity to rehearse the movement without releasing a baseball:

✅ STAY LOADED IN THE BACK HIP
Maintain support through the rear leg and hip as you begin moving forward. Create a controlled move toward the plate.

✅ KEEP THE FRONT SHOULDER CLOSED LONGER
Allow the lower half to lead the move down the mound before the chest turns through. “Stay closed” is a timing cue—the shoulders still need to rotate to complete the delivery.

✅ MOVE WITH DIRECTION
Practice moving toward your target while keeping your body under control through the stride.

✅ SLOW DOWN AND FEEL IT
Notice Cody’s deliberate pace. Controlled repetitions give him time to feel the positions and make adjustments. Build the movement first, then progress toward game speed.

💪 WHY IT HELPS

Practicing these movements can help pitchers develop better awareness of their back hip, improve their direction, and coordinate the delivery more consistently.

The goal is to carry that feeling into actual throwing. A drill becomes valuable when the adjustment shows up on the mound.

At Strike One Baseball Academy, we identify what each pitcher needs, explain the purpose behind the correction, and use focused drills to help them build a delivery they can repeat.

🔥 PLAYER SPOTLIGHT: LEO MORENO #17 🔥

Leo is a true ball player and has been part of the Strike One family from the beginning of our 9U journey, joining us when the team was still forming as an 8U squad. Long before putting on the S1 uniform, Leo was already a familiar face at our camps and lessons, so when the opportunity came to officially join a Strike One team, we were just as excited to welcome him as he was to join us. ⚾️❤️

Leo’s passion for baseball is impossible to miss. On and off the field, he is one of the hardest workers his age, constantly looking for ways to improve. He is coachable, passionate, and versatile, giving his team confidence that wherever he is placed on the field, he’s going to make plays and find a way to contribute.

⚡ Speed
🔥 Tough at-bats & puts the ball in play
💣 Sneaky power - outfielders playing in, BEWARE!
🧤 Can impact the game anywhere on the field
🎯 Strike thrower
🤝 Incredible teammate

Leo is an absolute pleasure to coach and an even better teammate. Keep that fire burning, Leo. You’ve got a lot of baseball ahead of you, and you’ve got places to go in this game!

Keep working. Keep competing. Keep believing.

Work on coordination and movement skills that support athletic development, sports, and everyday activity.

Try new exercises in an encouraging environment where kids can ask questions, practice, and learn at their own pace.

✅ CONNECT WITH OTHER KIDS

Whether your child loves sports or is getting comfortable with exercise, this program gives them a place to learn, challenge themselves, and enjoy being active.

⚾️ EVERY REP SHOULD HAVE A PURPOSE. EVERY PLAYER SHOULD HAVE A PLAN.

Take a look inside Strike One Baseball Academy—where athletes come to learn, train hard, and understand what makes their game work. 💪

Improvement starts with knowing WHAT to work on, WHY it matters, and HOW to practice it.

A hitter struggling with consistent contact may need better balance, sequencing, or barrel control. A pitcher struggling to repeat his delivery may need help connecting his lower half, controlling his direction, or improving his timing.

The key is identifying what that individual athlete needs and giving them a clear path forward.

🔍 IDENTIFY THE NEED
We look at how the athlete moves and where their mechanics or skills could improve.

🔧 TRAIN WITH PURPOSE
Targeted drills, clear instruction, and direct feedback help players understand the adjustment and feel the difference.

🔁 BUILD CONSISTENCY
We work from focused drills toward the full swing, delivery, or defensive movement—helping athletes apply what they’re learning.

📈 DEVELOP CONFIDENCE
When players understand their mechanics and know how to make adjustments, they can train with greater intention and approach competition with more confidence.

From the hitting and pitching work to the defensive drills and physical training shown here, our goal is to build more complete baseball players.

Led by owner and head pitching coach Jason Colgrove, Strike One provides an environment where athletes of all ages and skill levels can challenge themselves and keep progressing.

Whether your player is building a foundation or preparing for higher-level competition, individualized instruction gives them focused coaching, meaningful feedback, and work tailored to their development.

🔥 Bring the effort. Bring the commitment. Let’s build your game together.

⚾️ COMING OUT OF YOUR LEGS TOO EARLY? YOU COULD BE LEAVING POWER BEHIND.

Watch the first swing: the hitter rises out of his lower half as he turns. When that happens too early, it can change posture, disrupt the barrel’s path, and make consistent, hard contact more difficult.

Your legs help create and transfer force. The goal is to stay connected to that lower half as you rotate, then let your finish happen naturally.

🔧 THE FIX: SEATED MEDICINE-BALL ROTATIONS

The drill in this video gives the hitter a clear starting position and a simple sequence to feel:

✅ LOAD THE BACKSIDE
Start seated and feel pressure through the rear hip and foot. Create a controlled load that you can move from.

✅ CONNECT THE FRONT SIDE
As you move into the turn, establish a stable front side so you have something to rotate against.

✅ ROTATE INTO THE GROUND
Use the cue to turn with pressure through your feet instead of immediately popping upward. Keep your posture controlled as your hips and torso rotate.

✅ EXTEND OUT FRONT
Finish the throw toward the target, allowing the arms to extend after the body starts the movement. Then bring that same connected feeling back into the swing.

🔥 WHY IT HELPS

This drill can help hitters feel how the lower half and upper body work together. Better sequencing and more consistent posture can support a more repeatable barrel path, cleaner contact, and more effective use of the power they already have.

This isn’t about staying crouched through the entire swing. It’s about WHEN you rise and HOW you rotate. A natural rise in the finish is different from losing your legs before contact.

At Strike One Baseball Academy, we identify the movement that’s holding each hitter back, explain why it matters, and use purposeful drills to help the correction carry over into their swing.

Every hitter is different. Their instruction should be, too.

📲 DM us “HITTING” to schedule a lesson and start building a stronger, more consistent swing.
