Good video that shows proper balance throughout the throwing motion.

When was this video made?
Look at the clip of Roy Oswalt that is common on the web. His head isn't in line with his knee (camera angle is off so it probably isn't as far off as it looks in the clip) and his shoulders are tilted way more than 45 degrees. It seems to work pretty well for him.
That is what I have tried to teach my son over the years. I like him to drop the chin bend slightly forward and kick the but out slightly keeping the head over the balance point. LHPs tend to straighten up too much and you can see their game go down hill. Lhps tend to have this problem more than RHP.
