The main reason for the unnecessary, enormous number of chronic sore arms and various surgeries acquired by major league players, our aspiring college, high school,and youth pitchers as young as 10 yrs. old should be self explanatory to every baseball person out there in our baseball community’s, which is they are simply throwing with their arms instead of learning how to use their body’s as they should be used during it’s throwing movement, learning how the body should work from the rubber to front foot touch down in it’s sequenced, hip to shoulder chain reactive movement on to it’s finish position in contrast as to how the body naturally works.
As Ted Williams taught us many moons ago, learn to let the hips lead the way/do the work. right from the rubber the hips first lead the way followed by the stride foot leading the stride leg sideways straight down the hill to front foot touch down. what we see is that the stride foot first leads the stride leg while the hips just sit there , dead doing nothing.
Nuff said except aspiring pitchers need to find themselves an experienced, knowledgeable competent pitching coach who is capable of teaching them how to use their body’s as it should be used during it’s movement from the rubber throughout it’s finish position. there are three body pivots during the movement.
Good baseballin to all.
