quote:I agree with the SultanofSwat. Command and velocity go hand-in-hand. Your motion is ordinarily functional and far from exceptional.
In an exceptional motion, the Pitcher uses their Arm/Leg action to channel all their energy into their Throwing Hand. In your motion, your Arm/Leg actions create a barrier redirecting your energy away from your Throwing Hand.
In my opinion, too much of well-intentioned advice in this thread talks about what you need to do. To find out how to do what everyone is talking about doing, you need someone to break you motion into your kinetic pitching chain and then tell you your personal Arm/Leg adjustments that'll channel all your energy into your Throwing Hand.
Proper motion execution measured by your pitching chain will immediately improve your command and velocity.
If my mechanics are so bad then how am i still able to be somewhat successful playing agaisnt some of the best teams in this area? Are you also saying that my pitching instructor had no clue what he was doing or are you just trying to market and advertise your pitching program? because it sure does seem like you are and if you are don't bother posting on this thread. Yes i feel that my mechanics have gotten worse from not being able to work on them with him but by no means do i think that they are "far from exceptional"
I even had an ex-pro pitcher, john upham evaluate me probably around 7-8 months ago and there were only a few things that he was trying to correct, other than that he liked me as a pitcher.
