BTW I think throwing is not a balanced movement and a balanced Body might not be ideal for it. Pro pitchers often have "bad posture" and hypermobility in some Joints and directions and a lack of mobility in others. I think to some degree that can boost Performance but if it is overdone it can lead to injury. Of course ideallly you want that well balanced Body but that might not be ideal to throw 95+.

 

so pitchers probably do Need to find a happy medium between a well balanced Body and the quite asymmetric Needs for flexibility and strength in high Level throwing.

the typical well balanced strong and athletic Body can't do this so I think with pitchers it is always a compromise between being symmetric and well balanced and having that insane asymmetric flexibility and specific strength.

Not sure I am following you. Hyper mobility can be beneficial but then we should be working on stability. Asymmetry is common but if not addressed, injury is likely at some point down the road.
