Far be it of me to ever argue with Milli Vanili, AKA Java. But I still think crow hopping begins with a hand issue, pausing or hitching the arm circle. I can see it in the video clip of the pitcher. And, as with all crow hoppers, the hitch happens at the exact moment the foot goes sideways. But, I am certainly open to hearing and understanding how you fix your crow hoppers Mike. It doesn't really appear to be a wrong answer, as long as it gets fixed. I think we just differ on what we think the cause is. And, of course, I'm right. ha ha ha.
Now, in the video, the actual crow hop is not very large. I know I know, illegal is illegal. You cannot be "a little bit pregnant", either you are or you aren't. So, yes, she's doing it. But, i'd be curious to know if she does this outside in games. I have known pitchers who "cheat" when pitching indoors, looking for something to push off that isn't there. Yes, I see she has a pitching rubber but, it's not one that can be used for pushing off like one in the ground. So, sometimes pitchers do things indoors that they don't necessarily do outdoors.
