Pitcher in windup W/runners on base..
Once the pitcher toes the rubber and starts his windup motion is he committed to throw to home plate only? That's what I thought. Can he stop, step off and throw ahead of or behind a runner stealing?

Catcher Faking Throw
Two interesting plays this week highlighted the need to be sure our catchers know the correct way to fake a throw to 2nd with men on 1st & 3rd. Game #1: had a catcher try to fake the throw with the ball actually in his throwing hand. He started the throw to 2nd looking realistic but as his throwing arm moved through the slot he began to let up in an effort to not accidentally loose his grip on the ball. Two things happened, one he didn’t fool anyone with the “fake”, and...

Poor Velocity from Poor Lay Back in Late Cocking?
[Let’s take a step back in time…….] “WTF….Why are they not improving their velocity with all the hard work they’ve been putting in?” Hours spent in the gym each week working on strength and power exercises, with years of evidence backing that up. Weeks spent honing their craft (they’re baseball pitchers btw), further ingraining the mechanics and postures they’ve been taught to avoid. I even personally examined these kids for any anatomical maladies that would prevent this sort of thing from...
