Internal Rotation (IR) The arm and forearm whip through release using natural internal rotation of the shoulder. This creates more speed, spin, and efficiency with less stress on the elbow. The follow-through allows the arm to decelerate naturally (typically down and across the body). Hello Elbow The pitcher forces the hand up to the shoulder after release, often restricting natural whip. This can reduce speed and spin and place more stress on the elbow and shoulder because the arm is stopping a

In high-level softball pitching, internal rotation (IR) of the upper arm is the most efficient and powerful way to throw. 🔑 Why it matters: Energy Transfer: IR allows energy generated from the legs and torso to transfer smoothly through the arm into the ball. Arm Health: Instead of “pushing” with the shoulder or forcing extension, IR uses the body’s natural range of motion, reducing stress on the arm. Whip = Speed Spin: A relaxed wrist combined with proper IR produces late, explosive ball speed

Internal rotation, forearm pronation and spin axis are all hard concepts to understand in terms of pitching. A backwards spinning pitch is still thrown with internal rotation by cutting under and through the ball, letting it spin off the index while the forearm then pronates as shoulder rotates internally. Same goes for screwballs. They get a bad rep but you don’t and shouldn’t stay external with your forearm exposes on these snaps, or you put all the pressure and torque on your elbow and lose s

Internal hip rotation - not for every pitcher, as there are always exceptions- but it’s for most! Charli has tried for years to close her hip and trigger it faster before her hip. I told her to stop! Let’s work with what her body is naturally trying to do, which is staying more open/45 degrees! A smaller hip movement doesn’t mean less speed! This is why at Seven Strong we don’t teach a set, cookie cutter style or mechanics. Every pitcher’s DNA and bone structure, pelvic tilt, flexibility etc is
