What really leads to things like crow hopping and drag foot collapse? The most common cause of these big time mechanical issues is improper use or improper timing of the hips when you push off the rubber When you first push off the rubber, it’s the HIPS and the stride leg knee that go first Not the head, not the upper body, and not the chest. We also doing push straight up and immediately lock out the leg on the rubber. And we definitely do not immediately turn sideways and pull everything open

The secret to fixing a Crowhop/Replant.... is to commit to fixing it. You can't be half in/half out on wanting to fix it. Amy lives in Austrailia and she has been working so hard at eliminating her replant. See it in the "before" video? Watch her right foot. See her "after" video? One smooth drag without replanting. This is SUCH a common problem leg drive problem and a hard one to fix. Replanting like this can be legal in international rules, but is not legal in the US in college nor at the yout

Still so much controversy and confusion going on about the leap rule! Hopefully I can help clear up some of that confusion. In case you hadn’t heard: a few years ago a rule came out saying that LEAPING is now legal in the pitching motion And please note it said LEAPING, and NOT re-planting/crow hopping, which is still ILLEGAL And there are really 2 main issues with this rule: 1️⃣ so many coaches do not know the difference between a leap and crow hop. They are essentially teaching their pitchers
