It is crucial that pitchers break their hands on time – especially younger pitchers. A proper hand-break involves quickness but also means being early. Starting your hands before your leg goes below waist high/parallel will allow your arm to get to the “L” position on time. This helps pitchers with accuracy and achieving a downward plane ball flight. Most importantly, it helps maximize your body efficiency giving you increased velocity.

Pitcher Handbreak

Pitchers should get to a proper balance point as shown above. The knee should be at minimum waist high with your foot in line with your kneecap. Your leg lift should split your body evenly in two and your shoulders should be level.

Pitcher Handbreak

Since these drills build on themselves, you should incorporate the correct armpath we covered earlier – “C’ to an “L” position, leading with the pinkie and breaking below the waist. The key to this drill is breaking early. You should start your armpath (break) BEFORE your leg drops below your waist. The picture above shows what an early hand break looks like. Although this may seem VERY early, in game situations

Pitcher Handbreak

After breaking early let your lifted leg drop right where it came from. Keep the majority of your weight on the backside (right foot). If you have trouble with this never let your left foot touch the ground. Let it hover above the ground keeping 100% of your weight on your back foot.
