I've actually taken a huge interest in Japanese/other Asian country of origin pitching mechanics. Obviously they teach mechanics very differently there. What would you all say is the main difference between how pitching is taught there vs here in the USA? This is solely a hypothesis, and this may sound absolutely ridiculous to most of you, but: I am Asian myself (not Far East Asian, but South Asian), and I feel that genetically, my build is a probably lot closer to a Japanese/Korean/Taiwanese athlete, than it is to people of European ancestry here. I was actually curious to start learning to pitch the Japanese style, rather than what I've learned all my life here in the USA.
But anyways, I'm rambling. What are some key differences on the way things are taught over there? What is their primary mechanical concern? For some reason I find those mechanics really interesting, and am leaning on re-teaching myself to throw/pitch in the methods they use. Know this may sound like a ridiculous question, but I'm just really curious! And I'm not by any means bashing pitching styles here taught to me by some awesome pitching instructors, as they taught me really well and had plenty of great things to teach, as I learned a lot!
