----------Why? Do your guys often beat the ladies in this competition?
Your last post was, I must say, a very valiant effort to compose an impressive sounding rationale for Marshall Mechanics out of phony techno-speak.
Unfortunately, none of it means anything. If your High Schoolers could pitch effectively with Marshall Mechanics, some of them would enjoy enough pitching success to be noticed. (By someone other than you.)
A considerable part of the news media feeds and thrives off of the bizarre and controversial. If there was even a shred of evidence that Marshall's crack-pot mechanics were anywhere near as effective as traditional mechanics for baseball pitching, that story could not possibly be suppressed. That story would sell and that story would get plenty of exposure.
However, the Marshall Mechanics story has no "legs" because it is a pipe-dream. Neither Joe Williams or Jeff Sparks, both touted by Mike Marshall as pretty near able to walk on water, were able to earn roster spots on an obscure indie team, the Bridgeport BlueFish. This, despite the fact that Marshall's (former) friend managed the team and gave them a chance to prove themselves.
There is no evidence that using Marshall Mechanics is an effective way to pitch, so exposure (for example, the Fleisig study at ASMI) just leads to more cycles of embarrassment, spin control, and more foolish assertions.
