KINGOFTHEHILL

Proper leg drive both increases velocity and decreases stress on the pitching arm. The King of the Hill 'Trainer' was designed to train pitchers to develop and awareness of their leg drive off of the mound and to gradually increase the leg drive toward home plate. When using the proper pitching techniques, the separation between upper and lower body increase, which in turn creates more elastic energy that is transferred through the core. This improves the upper body's ability to accelerate and rotate while creating faster arm speed and higher velocity at the release. The initial boost of energy from the legs will relieve the arm of having to produce as much velocity, and will reduce the stress on the pitching arm while increasing arm speed.
