Balance-Checkpoint Slide-Step Tempo Ladder
A five-rung progression that starts from a paused balance checkpoint and adds tempo one rung at a time, so pitchers cut their time to the plate without losing command or hitting a runner-holding delivery.
⏱ ~20 min📋 5-rung ladder: 3 no-throw holds, then 4 + 5 + 5 timed throws on the middle rungs, then 10 timed game-intent pitches on the scoring rung (~27 throws).
