Is the lower shoulder a result of upper body angle or a conscious dip of the throwing arm shoulder?
Relative to the shoulder "dip", IMO that is a poor term to use. When kids hear that cue they tend to collapse/dip the shoulder as they are trying to release the ball......which is extremely counter to achieving speed, location, and spin rates. The pitcher is strongest when the shoulders are perpendicular to the spine (same in hitting). What many perceive as "dip" is just a posture change by the entire upper torso.
