Throwing Across Body vs Throwing Over Body

Crossbody vs. Overbody Throwing ⚾💥

Let’s dive into two pitching strategies and what they mean for your mechanics and efficiency:

❌ Throwing Crossbody:
• A unique and sometimes effective way to pitch.
• But it can force the body to over-rotate, putting stress on the core and arm.
• Over-rotation reduces linear momentum, making energy transfer less efficient and harder to control.

✅ Throwing Overbody:
• Landing more in line with the target allows the arm to come up and over the front leg.
• Trunk rotation complements linear energy, creating a more efficient energy transfer.
• Requires a different pitch strategy but offers better mechanics and reduced stress on the body.

Both styles can work, but understanding how your mechanics impact your efficiency, velocity, and arm health is the key to long-term success.
