- How important is the front leg in a pitcher's mechanics? How much does front leg blocking add to pitching velocity? Learn more - subscribe here👉 bit.ly/blewetty...
In this video you'll see four examples of pitchers, all with pretty good front legs. The front leg bracing technique, or lead leg blocking (whatever you want to call it) is important for transferring energy from the ground and the lower half into the upper half and the arm.

I've coached this for 25 years..yet I never explained half as well.
Kudos!
this was your best video i have seen yet please do more of this slow motion this was so helpful then you also included 2 lefties! i cant like this vid enough
i've been struggling with my front leg for a while. thanks for the video, it was really helpfull!
Keep working!
I will!!! should the front leg behave in the same way on flat ground? and about the back leg. should it be on or of the ground at the release point? Thanks for all the tips!
Mostly the same yes. Back leg can vary. Best is probably extended still on the ground but that also varies from player to player. Verlander’s comes off the ground a bit as does others. Not an absolute way to do it
If I understand you correctly, Tom Seaver's stiff front bent leg pitching technique satisfies your perspective. Correct if I am wrong. I am still catching up on your past videos. Keep up the great work.
Should your rotational energy send you in a more linerar motion towards home plate? Or is it okay to fall to the side?
me gusta toda la informacion pero la recibo es en ingles y no puedo captarla mas x el idioma xfvr si pudieran transmitir toda esta informacion en español fuera ideal todos los videos super interesante me gustan de verdad
Dan, great stuff as usual! My 12U has been struggling beauty this year thing. Any good isolation drills to work on stiffening the stride lead at pitch. I teach kids that it is like slamming on the brakes on a car- and the luggage goes flying off.
Thanks for the video, this is something I’m really missing in my mechanics and I look forward to improving it
Good luck! Work hard my friend
Do you do video analysis and work with kids virtually? - love your approach and trying to my 15 year old to do what you outlined in the video
Thanks!!
Nope - I sell online courses that help you do all of that yourself. danblewett.com/courses

10 years Learned in 1.
I got dis.
good luck sir
@@DanBlewett Thanks! I'm just gonna practice till i get it.
Sir not a pitching coach, not even a pitcher. I just study. Helping my grandson. I like your stuff. Here is my comment. Your 15U pitchers look good but it appears both their heads are looking up at finish. Thank you for your time.
Where should they be looking?
@@DanBlewett thank you sir but should they be looking at the target. The major league pitchers are. Not a crit. just observe while I learn. Thank you.
It doesn’t matter where they look, and it will change at various points in the delivery. The variance between pitchers on what their eyes do is very significant. And, you can’t really infer where they’re actually looking by their head direction, in most cases. That’s a detail you shouldn’t concern yourself with, especially with a young pitcher.

but Phill ? swing leg retraction is not good he might has back pain

no habla espanol. Google Translate?
What can we do to increase external rotation in throwing arm? I watch video of myself and it seems like my arm doesn’t lay back much
That’s a more complex answer, not really something I can answer here. Sorry

How to u practice pushing the knee back ?
you push with your leg
Hey Dan great stuff as usual. I have a three questions for you. Are there high velocity pitchers who throw with a bent front leg that straightens after ball release? If so do you think they would throw even harder if they straighten at release point? Finally, do you think command is better with a straight lead leg at release? Thanks for your time and knowledge.
I dont think anyone knows the answers to any of that, but my guess is that it doesnt matter. I think as long as your front leg doesnt sink, you're good. A lot of pitchers do not have straight leg by ball release - I didn't. There's not one way to do it.
Thank you I appreciate it keep up the great content.

How much do you charge for video reviews?
Im not taking new clients
@@DanBlewett ok
the dr mike marshall "straight-line" upright method is the bible.
...zero MLB pitchers throw that way 🧐 so maybe its not the bible.
@@DanBlewett Although MLB is happy to keep superstar pitchers around and pay them huge, it's my suspicion that they embrace the destroyed arms and bringing on new blood at lower money.
theres no conspiracy. you dont seem to have any real understanding of how pitchers develop from a young age on up.
