"I am confused by your video. Has Mike Marshall viewed it? If so, does he like having his name attached to that video?"
Yes, he has seen it. He thinks I do some things right but need to work on some other things.
"Does he really want the ball taken out of the glove that early."
Yes. In fact, this is one of the things that Dr. Marshall thinks I do well. The reason is that breaking the hands this early reduces the strain on the shoulder (among other things). Dr. Marshall refers to this as the Crow-Hop Rhythm (as in the crow hops that outfielders and some infielders use when throwing).
"What is the purpose of the Wind-up/set position."
First, to reduce the temptation to take the ball laterally behind the body (which ultimately lowers the arm slot). Second, to make it easier to hold runners onto 1B.
