Introduction

This video demonstrates a pitching drill called "walkthrough with a kick-through," designed to improve explosiveness and balance in pitching. The focus is on the end of the pitch, emphasizing a final leg drive and maintaining balance for three seconds.

Key Takeaways

• The drill emphasizes explosiveness at the end of the pitch, not just the initial movement.
• Maintaining balance for three seconds after the final leg drive is crucial. Falling should not stop the drill; the pitcher should immediately resume the position.
• The pitcher's front foot landing and subsequent twist are important for generating the leg drive and completing the motion.
• The drill works on front-side resistance and overall balance.
• The drill focuses on perfecting the end of the pitching motion.
