Inside Spades Pitching’s “patterning” drill: repetition that hides tells
Spades Pitching spotlighted its patterning routine, stressing the same movement through release across pitch types to eliminate tells and keep delivery lines consistent [1]. The piece lays out practical cues—such as a kneeling setup with a roughly 20° offset, “head on shoulders,” and “shoulder over hips”—plus a progression that layers weighted or varied throws to lock in repeatability [1].The staff recommends practicing patterning two to three times per week to groove timing and finish, with the goal of making every offering come out of an identical window [1]. The post lands amid a busy local training market, as Naperville players sort through regional trainer directories to plan off‑season work [2].
