BishopLefty vs. Case Western

School video with Son Pitching.

Part of it is the angle of the shot. Also if you are viewing through IE the image is skewed a bit. Not sure why. In Firefox the image is proportioned correctly. Also the sleeves may make th elbow look lower than it is. The sleeves he is wearing here are loose fitting. There is quite a bit hanging below were his elbow is.  

Thanks for the comments and concerns. We will continue to watch this and take a closer look at it.

I agree with karston..could be some arm issues in the future,,unless this is a bad angle,when i first saw this i kinda cringed

yes nice form on young man in picture- i would only say Elbow below shoulder could be a future ulna issue..perhaps it becomes parallel or higher at release?

Interesting.  Thanks LABaseballdoc!  Best of luck to your son!

Meachrm,

Pro:When it is cold and wet the mound holds up well. It is not hard as a rock in the cold and the footing is firm in the wet.

Con: The plant foot does not move at all when it lands. When it lands it stops and does not slide at all.

Karsten,

This is at Vetrans stadium in Chillicothe Ohio, Home of the paints. The mound is turf like the rest of the field. This was on Feb 25 2012. It was very Cold and the wind was blowing pretty hard. It was 25 before wind chill.

LABaseballdoc,

Thanks, this is my son Charles.

Thanks all.

Nice form, who is the pitcher?

your still pitching on dirt (clay) mound though field is turf right?

Any pros and cons of pitching on artificial turf?  I've never done it.  Just curious.
