Picking Your Angles
THE BIG THREE
The Cushion
The Cushion occurs when the front heel has landed, prior to the forward swing. In the Cushion,
it is best to have optimal torque created between the shoulders and hips. Jaime calls this Angle
S. A good Angle S measurement is 25 degrees.
Increasing Angle S is also one of the ways to "buy" time if the pitch is o -speed ("o -speed"
means it's a curveball, changeup, knuckleball, or any pitch that is signi cantly slower than a
fastball). O -speed pitches are meant to lure the hitter into opening up the front shoulder and
losing the torque between his hips and shoulders. The battle between pitcher and hitter is really
a ght for the hitter's form. The pitcher's job is to (1) throw strikes and (2) lure the hitter into
weak hitting positions.
