    Chelsea Thomas Change up

    Generally, I think Doug used to teach what I believe people on here refer to as the shove or push changeup.

    Arm follow through on Rise Ball

    During the college world series, Michelle Smith said something to the effect that the pitching hand follows through on a rise ball up to the opposite shoulder (Right handed thrower following through to touch the left shoulder).
