TripleSpin and the Flow of Energy

TripleSpin and the Flow of Energy

TripleSpin pitching philosophy is a specialized approach to pitching with a focus on rotational forces and stability in the foundation. Here's a summary of the key points mentioned:

TripleSpin Pitching:

This approach emphasizes the amplification and efficiency of rotational forces in the pitching delivery. It involves three rotational forces: hip turn, shoulder turn, and arm swing or path.

Two Platforms or Foundations:

The lower body (hips to feet) and the scapula are considered the two platforms or foundations. Strengthening and stabilizing these platforms are essential for proper pitching mechanics.

Application:

The application of this approach involves strengthening and stabilizing the lower body, core, and scapula. It also emphasizes creating a flow of energy through the kinetic chain, utilizing the three rotational forces in combination and unison to generate an amplified resultant force applied to the baseball in a linear plane.

Rotational Movements:

Stable platforms provide a foundation for the rotational forces to flow and amplify from the hip turn to the shoulder turn to the arm path. The goal is to efficiently transfer the energy generated through the pitching delivery to the ball in a linear direction.

Result and Problem Areas:

The result of efficient TripleSpin is a smooth and fluid delivery with an efficient transfer of energy. Problem areas to watch out for include rushing and jumping off the rubber, late hand separation, balance and direction issues, inverted "W" arm position, lack of finish and back hip release, among others.

Pitching Philosophy:

The pitching philosophy focuses on preparation, focus, and relaxed execution. It emphasizes sound delivery, command of the baseball, execution in different counts and pitch locations, solid fundamentals in all aspects of pitching, understanding and controlling the running game, and effective game preparation.

Summary:

The goal of the program is to develop an athletic pitcher with good balance, rhythm, and the ability to repeat their delivery, arm slot, and release point. Gradual progression, rotator cuff and scapular strengthening, and a positive and supportive relationship with the pitcher are key components of the program.

It's important to note that this approach may be specific to TripleSpin and may require further guidance from a qualified pitching coach or instructor to fully implement and understand.
