New Pitcher to Post

One thing i noticed is when he is done throwing he just stops basicly tell him to keep his momentum moving towards the plate (I use to have the same problem, I got radared with it when i did it i threw 77 when I didnt i was at 80-81) and he was opening the left leg a little (sort of like a gate) when he was throwing a curve ball, still not that bad though.

Krak, nice mechanics. The back leg and sidestep have been addressed. I don't feel he is using his front arm to the best of his potential. I would like to hear some comments from others on this. It looks like he is tucked too soon and is not rolling his thumb out.I think he is passive with his front side and it is costing him some power.

I would like to hear others remarks on this, and possible fixes.

I don't have a problem with the side step. I do have a problem with him changing his balance point when he does it. It doesn't matter where you step. Just step with the leg and don't shift the weight. That is where the problem starts. jmo

wow, this kid reminds me of myself, except a few differences. he drags his arm all the way back as i do, which is great for velocity. the two things i would work on are his first step and his leg kick. a side step takes his weight off center and makes you have to work to regain balance, resulting in other flaws. the leg kick is horrible to be honest. it needs to be a pickup instead of a straight legged drag. the leg kick is the big killer, that puts his motion to the plate off, resulting in a loss of accuracy and a loss of speed. ill get a video clip of me on the mound, his build is almost exactly like mine so my kick would be a good one for him to copy.

mchs -- make sure that if you do post a clip of yourself to start a NEW thread with it by sending it to Cap'N. That way you'll get lots of advice on things that might help your own motion. People won't see it buried on this thread, as it's pretty much a spent thread.
