(1/3) Been thinking a lot lately about how often we try and make a human fit into a pitch we’ve deemed as ideal instead of making a pitch fit into a human. For example: instead of telling everyone they need to stride 90% of their height why don’t we look at a pitcher’s building
(2/3) blocks and figure out a stride length that optimizes their hip mobility, strength and cross body tension to achieve the best power and timing possible? I see a lot of people trying to solve movement issues by changing bodies ie “you don’t stride far enough, let’s stretch u”
(3) would it not be easier, quicker and potentially more effective to find individual movement patterns (within the basic biomechanical efficiency principles) that fit your pitcher, instead of trying to make every body the same?
