Not to hijack this thread, but does anyone else notice that most kids don't actually crow hop with pull downs. A proper crow hop is when the back foot hops through directly after the catch and allows an outfielder to not only get something on the ball, but more importantly get rid of it ASAP. I've always related this to a catcher's pop-time. The catcher can have the strongest arm, but if he can't transfer the ball very well guys are still going to run on him.

Taking a 13 choppy step running start and throwing a ball as hard as humanly possible as you do a front flip has disaster written all over it. FWIW, my arm hurts just watching it, and also the injury question is not IF, but WHEN....
