I have a clip of dan haren playing catch and I want some of the pitchers here to watch how he throws with his hips then the arm comes around. The hips fire then the arm comes around and throws the ball. Look how he rotates into landing with his back hip.

Anatomicaly they are 2 seperate pieces,
But I notice in sports terminalogy the hips and trunk are used to discribe the same areas.Last edited by LAball; 03-02-2008, 02:31 PM.

I think that legs support with balance, but they have a fundamental role about generating power, striding forward with correct timing and velocity, if you don't use your legs the proper way you're gonna loose a lot of velocity and control...the power that is generated into your legs gets delivered into your arm through separation, and hips-shoulders rotation...
using the word "support" sounds like legs have a passive role in pitching...

idk why everyone says dont use your legs when you throw, when I push off the rubber and get lower, I throw harder, about 3 mph harder.2008 varsity stats

Legs are absolutely a huge part of pitching. If you have a sprained ankle and can't push off well, can you still throw decent, sure. The point is, you'll be putting added strain on the arm. In order to keep the same velocity/performance, something has to make up for it. In the long run, the arm will suffer.

GoC, look at the very effective late hip snap of this dude and tell me the legs only supply support....
