Consistently Missing High In The Strike Zone? Here's A Simple Fix

If you're having trouble throwing strikes and are consistently missing high in the strike zone (in other words, you're not consistently throwing good low strikes at the hitters' knees), LetsTalkPitching.com member redsox8191 recently posted this suggestion:

"My son went to a pitching clinic just this past Sunday with Coach John Bagonzi. In it, he stated that if you are missing consistently high you should try to extend your stride a bit. He said that one inch increase in your stride length can equal 7 inches lower by the time the ball reaches the plate. Try to increase your stride length just a touch."
