Q

What occurs during the windup phase of pitching?

A

The body rotates so that the hips and shoulders are perpendicular to the target and flexion of the lead hip raises the center of gravity. The shoulder muscles are relatively inactive.

Q

What occurs during late cocking phase of pitching?

A

Potential energy is stored to be used during the acceleration phase. Late cocking involves terminal external rotation of the shoulder with eccentric stressing of the internal rotators of shoulder and mild stretching of the anterior capsule. It ends with planting of the lead foot.
