Free Pitching Videos on Google

Hi,
These video clips were taken from a tape made by Bill Thurston called Common Mechanical Pitching Faults.
Thurston was a coach at Amherst College and was associated with ASMI. (American Sports Medicine Institute)ASMI was the group who published the pitch count recommendations.

Google Video has a series of about six pitching instructional videos. These appear to be created for a Canadian kids league (NDG Baseball) and contain some pretty useful info.

The problem with the video I looked at is that Thurston understand where arm slot comes from. This is a very common problem with pitching coached from this generation. John Bagnozzi also doesn't understand this.

Arm slot isn't determined by the bend of the elbow. Instead, it's determined by the tilt of the shoulders.

Some of his points about higher arm slots leading to injuries also don't have any basis in fact.
