I am thinking about changing my pitching style from regular overhand to sidearm/submarine. I have a feeling that the reason I did not make the Freshman team this year was because I blended in too much. I just had an "average" fastball and "average" control. When I tryout for JV in February, I really want to stand out. I feel like if I dropped down, the coaches might like me because I offer a different arm angle than most. So should I do this? By the way, I am asking this question now because I want to work on this in a fall league. Also I have heard that dropping down creates less stress on the shoulder. I think that is why John Smoltz is changing his arm angle. Oh and I will post a video by tommorow of my proposed new pitching motion. Thanks!
