Module 2: Drive & Momentum
Module 2: Drive & Momentum
Learn how to harness your lower body to generate explosive momentum and power.
This module dives into the mechanics of driving off the mound with precision and control. Hector explains how to properly use your legs to generate forward momentum while maintaining balance. You’ll learn techniques to maximize energy transfer from your lower body through the pitch, ensuring you achieve optimal velocity and command. Key drills will help you develop efficient and repeatable movements to master your drive.
In this module, we’ll focus on the importance of lower body drive and how it connects to overall momentum. The key here is to push off the rubber with purpose, using your back leg as a driving force. Notice how the energy starts from the ground and flows through the entire body.
When driving forward, your stride should be aggressive but controlled—always staying in balance. Watch as I demonstrate the proper sequence: the push, the drive, and the landing. Remember, momentum doesn’t mean rushing; it’s about controlled acceleration toward the plate.
