Rotation vs. Drive Rotation: Back Leg Mechanics Explained

🚨 Are you spinning your wheels on the mound? Let’s break down the difference between rotation and drive rotation so you can maximize velocity and efficiency.

❌ Pure Rotation:
• Back foot just spins in place.
• Generates no momentum during the stride, leaving energy on the table.

❌ Pure Extension:
• Only the knee and ankle extend, but the hip doesn’t.
• Creates some momentum, but fails to power hip rotation, preventing efficient energy transfer.

✅ Drive Rotation (Triple Extension):
• Back foot rotates open toward the target.
• THEN the leg extends (knee, ankle, hip flexor) as the pelvis rotates.
• This combination creates optimal energy transfer up the body for higher velocity and better mechanics.

💡 The takeaway? Drive rotation combines rotation AND extension for powerful, efficient pitching mechanics. 🚀
