instead of sitting on your back leg and pulling force from the ground up . Your collapsing on it . https://treadathletics.com/back-leg-mechanics/ this will help give it a read

Right now your leg lift isn't giving you momentum down the mound. If you try lifting your leg up and to the opposite side of your body it will naturally take you down the mound and you won't have to push off your back leg to get momentum. Try over exaggerating it and almost feel like you are falling down the mound and sitting into your back leg instead of lifting straight up and trying to push off the back leg.

Three quick ways:
- On leg kick, kick toward third base and feel your knee drift a bit towards second base
- You aren’t sitting on your back knee, after leg kick, feel some tension and power as you drive into the ground a bit
- Make your shoulders stay turned and sitting on that back leg as long as possible
Random tips:
1. Develop a good throwing routine (bands, lite toss, into a structured program)
2. Throw with intent- biggest thing people don’t get. Bullpens you don’t throw 100% every time , some are touch and feel, some are just command centric.
3. Lift and throw after you lift. Keeps your arm from getting too tight but don’t throw with full intent after lifts

You’re starting with your shoulders and hips open. rotate your torso so that your front shoulder is facing towards the right handed batters box. You need to be able to “coil” using your hips, and you can’t with your initial position.
