The Pitching Experts

RJM- I'm a bit biased being that I have a personal relationship with him, but I believe Alan Jaeger is outstanding too. His long toss routine is a bit unorthodox and may turn a lot of people off. However, he is outstanding with the mental side of the game as well and is definitely a strong resource.

Perry Husband coined the term effective velocity and uses a lot of scientific theories in his work on the mound. He is for the more advanced pitcher/learner, but definitely some good reading material for those interested.

D-i-c-k Mills is someone who I read up on also. I began reading him simply because he strongly opposes Alan Jaeger. I am a huge fan of Jaeger's long toss program and advocate it extremely, but I feel as though it is necessary to be well versed in all different approaches to the craft, especially in two distinctly different approaches that both have strongly backed opinions behind them. Mills is absolutely outstanding when it comes to mechanical analysis and simplicity in the motion.

Some of Marshall's ideas are outstanding, but I am very turned off by his "my way or the highway" approach. I've read a good bit of his work and taken bits and pieces, as you said, to put to use.

RJM,
For a 14 year old I would keep it kind of simple, Wolforth, Strom, House and Ellis provide easy and basic stuff, Jaeger a good, but as JH says some of his stuff is unorthodox and maybe for the older pitcher.

Many pitchers are taught "Marshal tenents". I am not sure if that is what they really are to begin with.
