I've heard 90% of height. You can't teach that IMO, one must do specific conditioning and excercises to strengthen those muscles needed to increase their lower body strength to increase the stride. That's why young pitchers should concentrate on lower body over anything else which includes glut max, hamstring, groin and calve muscles. As the pitcher grows and matures, his stride in relation to his height will change and adapt to his lower body strength.
