I can appreciate some of what Rocket is saying. But I do wonder what are "the current mechanics used by the best"? There is a great variety of mechanics used by different pitchers.

If what Coach Chris is expounding upon is Marshall's current teaching, I can't go along with it.

When analyzed from the standpoint of physics & biomechanics (I'm with Rocket here), they don't add up.

I assume what we are discussing here is what mechanics should be taught to young pitchers. There are many successful and varied styles among pro pitchers. But what do we teach young pitchers? IMHO, keep it simple. Each added motion is something to go out of tune. Basic, fundamental mechanics. Mechanics that make sense when analyzed from the standpoint of physics and biomechanics.
