Getting Out in Front (Pitching) | Uplift Labs Help Center

What it is:	When the pitcher leans their torso forward excessively, releasing before rotation is complete.
Why it matters:	Leads to loss of power, high or inconsistent pitches, and poor follow-through.
Good mechanics in this phase look like:	Upright trunk posture through rotation. Forward trunk tilt happens naturally at release, not early.
How to address it:	Drills: Wall drill for trunk control, stride-and-hold with trunk upright. Cues: “Stay tall,” “Finish over your front leg, not before.”
