pitching motion

Pitching motion in baseball is the complex movement a pitcher makes to throw a ball toward home plate. It involves coordinated actions of the legs, hips, torso, and arms. The pitcher starts by positioning their body, then uses their legs and hips to generate power, rotating the torso and followed by the arm. The release point and wrist action determine the ball’s speed, spin, and trajectory. Proper mechanics maximize speed and control while minimizing injury risk. Overall, pitching is a precise, dynamic sequence of movements designed to deliver an effective pitch efficiently.
