thats exactly what i thought the first time this picture was shown in the newspaper. i have a picture of me from a long distance throwing in a game yesterday, and i analyzed it and my back leg was down, knee facing home plate and the toe was dragging. too bad it took me a half hour to adjust the picture, etc. and scanning into the computer should be a nightmare so i figured i wouldnt do it. but also, the cameraman was to the side of the dugout in the stands at a weird angle, so the picture could be deceiving. perhaps the ball is well out of my hand already and for some reason its an illusion or something, because looking at it closely again i don't recognize any conceivable pitch that could end up in that formation, maybe a changeup but thats certainly not how i grip it. maybe the ball is already well out of my hand. but who knows.
