Jerry (PGStaff),

I did Google "Chris Handke baseball" and that is a pretty cool story.

http://www.qctimes.com/sports/...4c-001cc4c03286.html

"A former teammate of mine works for Perfect Game in Cedar Rapids, and he encouraged me to take a couple of pitching lessons," Handke said. "I did that, and my velocity came up to where I was hitting around 93 (mph)..."

"I've never been very refined as a pitcher, and in the lessons I learned how to use my hips and midsection as I pitched instead of just trying to throw with my arms and upper body like I had all my life," Handke said.

I've been interested in pitching mechanics ever since 2003 when my son (then a HS pitcher) started working on correcting his mechanics (with the help of several HS Baseball Web members, especially cap_n).

Just curious, do you remember who gave Handke the lessons? I wouldn't be surprised if it was you...
