Momentum and power starts at the very beginning. Your energy is created from the ground up. For pitching, this energy and power comes from the hips. A pitcher won’t have anything behind her pitch if she simply steps off the mound – she needs to drive off it. It’s important to create an athletic, explosive position in your push out to maximize your drive. More energy at the beginning of your pitch will create more energy at the end of your pitch.
