Let’s break down this pitcher’s motion.
He starts in a balanced set position and stays controlled through the leg lift—smooth and in sync with the upper body.
As he moves down the mound, he shows good intent, but after release, he falls off hard toward the first base side.
That fall-off hints at some directional issues in the delivery.
There’s a lot to like in his foundation.
His leg lift is strong—high and controlled, which helps generate momentum.
The arm path is fluid and natural, moving cleanly into a high three-quarter slot.
He also gets great extension out front, really reaching toward the target at release.
All signs of a well-sequenced upper half.
There are some key issues.
The front foot lands open—pointing toward the first base side, not straight at the target.
That opens the hips and shoulders early, pulling him off line.
He also yanks the glove side open too soon, speeding up that rotation.
It all adds up to that hard fall-off after release and a loss of command and balance.
This pitcher clearly has potential—he’s athletic, has intent, and the delivery starts clean.
Now it’s about cleaning up direction.
If he can stay closed a little longer, lead more with the front hip, and land in line, the finish will clean up too.
More balance, better command, less stress on the arm—and a more complete pitcher overall.
