i just realized that im much more comfertable pitching from the windup then from the stretch. when from the stretch i tend to throw over my body a little bit and my stride is about half an inch shorter. this results in loss of velocity leading to me having to sacrifice control for velocity. HELP PLEASE

Stride to the same place as your windup.

ive tried, i just dont get enough forward momentum to reach my full stride. im 5'8 and stride 5 feet 8 inches

when pitching from the stretch i lose a few inches and tend to throw across the body:mad:

Well, when you're in the stretch, focus on moving explosively (aka fast) leading with your front hip.
Then work on it
