Great video! Thanks for sharing. Good overview to whet the appetite of those that are skeptics. I’d love to see Part 2 be a slightly more advanced explanation/demonstration of the differences.
I am about 45 minutes away and had no idea. Just left a message on the phone.
I agree that the pitching hand should not end up under the throwing side arm pit. For one thing, there would be way too much elbow flexion whether the elbow stays at the pitcher's side or comes way up in the follow-through. I've seen both with new students.Good video. The easiest way to explain to a novice is to demonstrate an overhand throw. The arm should end up across the body, not under the same side armpit. How awkward would that be? So, why would it be any different throwing a ball underhand?

I have a question with regards to the arm ending up across the body which can be interpreted in different ways in my opinion. From a catcher's view: If we draw a vertical line that passes through the hand at the moment of release and we call that the pitching hand's pitching plane... in your opinion, where should the hand end up shortly after release in relation to that pitching plane? More or less stay on that pitching plane or veer off across to the other side of the torso?
