@TopVelocity Your head is about a foot past your left foot, pelvis not all the way rotated. Looking like a dog about piss on a tree. Which is why u stumble forward.Not close to what Duran is doing. Just stop demonstrating your stuff. It does a major disservice to what you’re trying to teach

@AMarks27 Really?

Most pitching coaches still argue about this… “Do you push off the back leg?” This debate only exists because people ignore basic physics. You literally cannot move your body forward without pushing against the ground. If you don’t push… you stay behind your front leg, trunk upright, stuck in the ground just trying to get rid of the ball. Look at the finish. ❌ No push: You finish stacked behind the front leg. ✅ Real push: You finish way out in front… Back leg flying up… Sometimes even stumbling forward. That happens because you created force into the ground and Newton’s laws send your body forward. Momentum in pitching is not rotation first. It’s force into the ground → momentum forward → energy up the chain. If your pitcher finishes falling forward… They pushed. If they finish stuck behind the front leg… They didn’t. The physics isn’t debatable.

@TopVelocity lol

@AMarks27 If he stumbled anymore he would fall over. Do you not notice how he is trying to get his balance again after releasing the ball over his front foot. This is him trying not to do a flip. Is it my eyes or yours?

@TalkinBaseball_ Cold

one word to describe the team usa offense

@TopVelocity I get it. And I don’t even disagree with your main take. Your example is just no where close to what he’s doing . And if this is stumbling forward then I just need to get my eyes checked.

@AMarks27 Yes like this!

@TopVelocity Same thing pretty much

@AMarks27 Yes they stumble forward like I said.

@TopVelocity I mean neither one of those guys fall forward like you said. Thanks though

@AMarks27 A few stumbles here for you! youtube.com/shorts/8x_o0Jb… youtube.com/shorts/nISP2Xz…

@shegone03 Crazy you were able to turn on that so easily. That pitch would have been 110 on today’s guns

When I faced a really hard throwing guy I would try to be as relaxed as I can and be SHORT & QUICK to the ball. I let the pitcher supply the power buddy. #shegone
