quote:“I also agree with the head jerk”
His head actually flows out of the way to get that high of a humeral vector.
I noticed your son attains a high arm vector; this is one of Marshalls tenets
quote:“and he is out of position when he finishes.”
This would only be true if you knew where we wanted him to finish!
Ultimately we want him to finish in a drop step position with his glove tucked between his cheek and armpit.
quote:“His stride varies from pitch to pitch.”
His stride is designed to finish more open with the maxline pitches (tailing to ball arm side fastball, screwball and Sinker) and finish more towards center with the torque pitches (tailing to the glove arm side fastball, Slider and Curve). We will work on getting even more of a difference in both.
quote:“He doesn't do a lot of things that many believe he should.”
If these traditional pitching coaches actually knew what they were talking about they would have left him alone.
quote:“He is now 22 and never been injured.”
The high arm vector has helped him avoid problems, this is good.
quote:“As I have said many times he was even over used during his years as a pitcher only.”
If he does not injure himself how could you know how many innings were enough?
With a completely non-injurious motion you can pitch day after day all day as long as you have substrate storage left and are not suffering from diminished capacity.
When did you notice a change in his performance during a lengthy game?
Did he ever get the gateway injury of inflammation?
quote:“The earliest I have is video at 16.”
I loved the video but it was unnecessary because I already believed you.
quote:“He was topping out at 8”
You have committed a Typo, if he was in the high 8’s, he was really bringing it and probably had a lot of pro interest. What a kid! Very impressive!
