    Indoor Long Toss

    I was wondering if any of your daughter's have done indoor longtoss...(see the Wasserman link below.) I'm thinking ahead to the cold days and early sunsets here in the northeast.

    Throwing BP overhand

    I was wondering what everyone thinks about throwing BP to DD overhand as opposed to underhand. Is it good, bad, or indifferent? I can't throw with any speed or accuracy underhand even moving in closer...overhand I can spot it accuratley and at a much greater velocity. This would only be extra...

    I have the opportunity to record my daughters next hour long pitching session with her coach. What are your preferred angle(s) of recording for examining the footage later? Would you set up the camera in one specific spot or move it to various angles throughout the session? Thanks.

    Pitchers with great mechanics/form

    I'm curious which pitchers whether former or current you think have very good mechanics/form? I made still images of my daughter at key points in her delivery and I would like to compare her with some pitchers with excellent mechanics/form. Thanks
