IR--one more time
I would appreciate some help with my understanding the IR mechanism. I am having trouble understanding the extent to which pronation/rotation of the lower arm contributes to the velocity of the pitch. In looking at the Finch video above, as well as the Ueno and Pauly slo-mos, what I think I am...- David B

Hip Rotation Question
I have a basic question about hip rotation. I have heard (every time I watch a televised SB game) that the hip rotates to a 45-52 degree angle at release. My question concerns the mechanism that creates this rotation. Is this a passive movement brought about by the right leg (RHP) driving...- David B
