[Learn from pitcher Yusei Kikuchi]6 points of pitching

Pitcher Kikuchi, who transferred to the majors in 2019 and has been selected as an All-Star this season, is showing great success. From such a first-class pitcher, I would like to learn “6 points of the upper body in pitching” this time. However, it is not a special thing, it is a story based on the “principle of pitching”. ■ Top (forefoot landing) ① The movement of the left shoulder under the chin (shoulder forward tilt) causes the ribcage to rotate toward second base (= restrains the opening of the chest) ② The chest is sideways and the navel is in the front.The opening of the chest is suppressed by the points mentioned earlier.Then, the pelvis faces slightly forward (toward the catcher) and the front foot lands.This difference in twist (torsion difference) makes the next rotation sharp ■ Just before chest tension ③ The ball is hidden behind the head. https://note.com/preview/nca8a76f11ecc?prev_access_key=7b5cabad44446f26319a4f28d0b01447 ~Self-introduction~ Baseball Trainer Kazuki Yabe[A trainer specializing in baseball whose motto is to combine the players’ senses with scientific evidence]Occupation Physical Activities as a therapist and trainer ■ Engaged in the rehabilitation of athletes, including baseball players, at a sports orthopedic hospital ■ Trainer for a high school baseball team and a personal trainer for an independent professional baseball leaguer ■ Posting information about baseball on SNS (Instagram and Twitter) and online form guidance ■We also conduct research on swing speed and have a history of presenting research at national academic conferences SNS ■Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yabe.kazuki ■Twitter: https://twitter .com/yabe_kazuki (Main account: Kazuki Yabe) ■Twitter: https://twitter.com/journalbaseball (Sub account: Baseball Journal) ■TikTok: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSJChE3DC/ ■note: https://note.com/ky_baseball ■YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM0IzyrCg-zP9fK7w9Q8YKA
