Baseball coaches teach their
pitchers a routine after receiving the ball from the catcher with
men on base (a tip in this brochure). After this routine, the
pitchers know, at all times, whether they are throwing a pitch to
the catcher or making a pick-off move. Anytime the pitcher
loses their focus, they are required to step off the
rubber.
By following a well defined
routine, the pitcher focuses on one action at a time. Rarely
are they bothered by a runner on base who tries to make the
pitcher lose their motivation. They always know whether they
are pitching or picking off.

An Actual Playing Skill
directly from the
"EFFECTIVE PICK-OFF MECHANICS" !
To demonstrate how concise and
detailed, yet how easy-to-read "EFFECTIVE PICK-OFF MECHANICS"
is for the user, the actual text for the "Slide Step," one
of over 12 topics from this brochure, reads as follows:
Slide Step.
Strategy - speeding the delivery to the plate without sacrificing
pitch location. The pitcher lifts their leg directly into the
"foot strike" position. ("Foot Strike" Position. Feet - in line
with the target… Knees - flexed… Shoulders - in line with the
target… Chest - over the knees… Glove Side Elbow - pointing at the
target… Throwing Arm - the forearm and the upper arm form a right
angle at the elbow… Throwing Hand Palm - facing second base.)...
Motion. Stride Foot - moves forward
landing on the inside of the stride foot. The foot points to the
throwing side corner of the plate placing the pitcher in an
excellent "Foot Strike" Position.
