I just spent about an hour reviewing arm circle speeds of about 5 random videos on you tube of Amanda Scarborough and some random recruiting videos. I was trying to see if the arm circle speed of my DD (.38 seconds) was something that needed to be sped up. I have discovered the universal arm circle constant!!! No matter the pitcher....it takes .36 to .40 seconds to complete the arm circle....Two conclusions.
1) Holy crap this surprises me that little kids and college level pitchers have the same cadence.
2) The arm circle speed is basically a non factor in pitching power.
Correct, incorrect? should I switch to light beer from absinthe?
ps- it is also pretty constant that about 55-60% of this is up the circle and 40-45% is down the circle.
scratch that....just found a .33....but still...pretty tight grouping between 10 year olds and top level college players.
