Pre-Inning5Know YOUR one pitch routineExample:1. Catch ball2. Walk to & toe the rubber3. Get sign4. Come set5. *Deep breath6. Lift leg7. Separate & land8. Rotate9. Chest extension10. Arm extensionOne Pitch (1/4)6Example1: If there are 10 steps in your routine and every step takes ~1 second and walking back takes ~3 seconds, then 1 pitch should take ~12 seconds.7One Pitch (2/4)Know YOUR tempo to complete 1 full pitch.Should be around 12 seconds. Faster we lose control, slower defense falls asleep.*Every pitcher must take a deep breath once they have come set, in both the full windup and stretch.Visualize the last half of your next pitch during your breath.
