As the lead knee initiates the pitching delivery, it is important that the foot remains underneath the lead knee. This will allow the body to remain compact.

As the lead knee reaches it’s Apex, it is important to create a rotation of the hips to load the lower half of the body.

To achieve a proper lower half load:
Align the lead knee with the throwing shoulder. “Show the heel of the shoe to the catcher”. “Show the back pocket to the catcher”.
