"HOW IT WORKS"
The goal of the "King of the Hill" trainer is to get all pitchers to develop an awareness of their leg drive off the mound and gradually increase the 'Lateral Force' toward home plate from the legs. When doing this, the 'separation' between the upper and lower body increases creating more elastic energy that is transfered through the core which increases the upper body's ability to accelerate and rotate while creating more arm speed and more velocity at release.
With this, the initial energy boost from the legs will relieve the arm of having to produce as much velocity and reduces stress on the shoulder and elbow.

Dewey Robinson/Tampa Rays, Pitching Coordinator
"As the pitching coordinator for the Tampa Rays I'm always searching for ways to improve our pitchers throwing motions and after being introduced to a new training device by Rich Dunno, I was intrigued by the theory.
We liked it so much we developed another station in our Spring Training drills just for the "King of the Hill Leg Drive Trainer." I'm pleased by the way it helped increase our pitchers lower half power by increased "Leg Drive" that the "King of the Hill Trainer produced".
"I would recommend the "King of the Hill Trainer" to all pitchers that want to developed more power in their lower half.... This is where pitching starts".
