Thanks for the awesome thread. Really nice to have such an easy-to-understand guide.

Great thread knightsb!
Cat is a tremendous pitcher but she does at least two unorthodox things in real time that should be noted if you are going to use her as the poster child for pitching checkpoints.
- her pivot foot leaps (gets off the ground) from the pitching plate, to about 1.5 feet in front of the plate, and then she drags the pivot foot the rest of the way. Not ideal and illegal.
- she looks down twice during her pitch. Once when she does her windup and again during her stride. I have never seen another pitcher do this. Works for her but not recommended for most pitchers.

Great gif of Hawkins. Thanks. Is she throwing a rise?
