Controlling the running game, a crash course. Level 1: 1) Vary looks, cadence & timing 2) Use pick moves, get good at them, training picks 5-10 min a day is all it takes… This is a great start, but it simply isn’t enough to slow down elite basestealers… Level 2: 3) Slide step, get comfortable with it… If you move well there shouldn’t be a velocity drop off. Most bases are stolen off high leg lifts... The goal of the slide step is to be around 1.1-1.2 sec to the plate which gives your catcher a chance. There are even some rare sub 1.1’s. Level 3: 4) Runner at 2B, leg lift while looking at the runner…mix-in inside move off it This is a very high level move, that takes lots of practice, but will stop the runners feet. If he still wants to run he’ll be out. Much more I could write, but this is a good start if you or your team is struggling to control the run-game.

Front foot down, then throw, is the feeling you want. Peel your back foot off the mound like Velcro. Allow your delivery to happen, get to a strong position at foot strike, then bring down the house. Well timed intensity. Stay sideways as long as possible. Build rhythm into foot strike, get violent after. Resist early shoulder rotation, rotate late in a hallway, be patient. Here’s a counting method to try, 2-3-4 2 peak leg lift 3 foot down 4 throw (A big thank you to @SCU_Baseball for hosting the Renegades. The Broncos are first-class.)

This drill doesn’t look like much, but it means the world to me. It was created over a decade+ of work. Circa 2012 my goal was to find the best way I could teach the pitching delivery. I’ve tried many philosophies & gadgets in both the team & private training setting. I studied how other parts of the world teach pitching…I went down every rabbit hole available, nothing made sense. So I began building my own methodology… Then in year 12 it all finally clicked. I closed in on a drill to teach the feeling of foot down, then throw… No tool comes close to the freedom of movement a connection ball offers. Its adaptability from pitcher to pitcher is unmatched. This drill teaches an incredibly difficult concept. WHEN to step on the gas pedal. It requires patience in the delivery. Timing is everything in pitching, just like life. Moral of the story, if you don’t like how it floats, build your own boat 🚤
