Article of the Month The_Necessity_Of_Balance_-_Learning_To_Pitch_With_A Reserve Of Power and Control An Interview with former San Diego Padres Pitcher John Sturgeon on learning to pitch and why balance is so important in mastering the skill of pitching. He currently is pitching in the Men’s Senior Baseball League and as a coach for youth players. I met John Sturgeon in San Diego where he is a Physical Education Coach at John Muir elementary school in San Diego, CA.  While showing him the Billy Board® Balance Skill Disc to him and his students, I discovered his passion for baseball and how he came to see the Billy Board® as a powerful tool to help the young players he coaches at his baseball school.  We sat a down one day and I asked John as a coach and pitcher how he saw the Billy Board® as an instrumental tool in developing a better pitcher. To be a good, even great baseball pitcher, BALANCE is a necessity.  Every athlete, should be able with little effort, be able to easily learn the fundamentals of good mechanics, be able to focus and direct a baseball to the exact location – into the catchers glove or to first base, to have control with power and accuracy, good response time when a ball is hit back at you, good eye-hand coordination, and spatial orientation on all that goes on around him while on the field.  To do this, your vestibular sensing system in the inner ear has to be fine-tuned like a tuning fork, which will give you perfect balance as well as a honed-in sensing system.    Only then, will you be an in-balanced baseball pitcher. Kate: John, tell me why you think the Billy Board® would be a great addition to a baseball pitchers training? John: Balance is a key aspect of pitching and usually nothing is really done to perfect it.  To be in a position of balance is to be in a position of power.  The three most important parts of pitching are location, movement and velocity, and they depend on a pitcher’s balance.  The usual pitching practice routine spends very little time on a pitcher’s balance.  The devices that are available for athletic balance training are usually focused on side-to-side balance training.  The Billy Board trains the athletic rotationally, along with adding slope in degrees from 0 to 17.  This is just what a pitcher needs.  As the pitcher winds up, rotates his body in two opposite directions and then descends the slope of the mound, he is putting his body through a kinesthetic routine that only the Billy Board can train completely.
