Pronation Drag vs Pronation Acceleration

Pronation Drag vs. Pronation Acceleration ⚾💥

❌ Pronation Drag:
• Typically seen from a horizontal arm slot.
• The pitcher fights against centrifugal force to pronate and spin the ball.
• This puts excessive stress on the flexor-pronator muscles, leading to fatigue, instability, and increased risk of UCL damage or Tommy John surgery.

✅ Pronation Acceleration:
• Comes from a more over-the-top arm slot.
• Gravity supports the pronation, allowing the forearm to accelerate naturally.
• This optimizes spin and reduces stress on the arm – a healthier way to throw, especially breaking pitches.

If you’re fighting your mechanics, you’re fighting your health. Train smart and build a delivery that works with your body, not against it.
