Lying on your back, bring your ankle to the opposite knee. With both hands, hold the back of the knee the ankle is resting on. Pull the knee to the chest to force an external rotation of the hip. "With pitchers, there is usually a significant difference in range of motion between the push-off hip and landing hip, so we will emphasize this stretch on the push-off leg even more," Fournier explains.
