    Want more information of the moment of release

    I am looking for really "slow motion"/"high frame rate" clip or photo sequence of the moment of release, i.e. the 5 o'clock to 7 o'clock part of the circle. For most of the clip/sequence I found, that period is tooooo fast for the clip/sequence to capture, so the most important part is skipped...

    Is the side of the nail of the middle finger suppose to hurt?

    Is the side of the nail of the middle finger that is next to the index finger suppose to bruise or bleed or something when pitching fastball? Mine would bleed or some "spot of blood" after repeated pitching, the "line of nail growth" on that side is also more curved up because it's kind of...

    Placement of fingers and Glove fingers

    (I am a young man from a place where baseball and softball is obscure) So, my whole palm are just 2 "glove-fingers" wide. I have always wondered how do people fit their fingers into their glove. I mean even though the tips of the fingers can move, they are still attached to the base at the...

    Do you intentionally involve the scapula as a part of the radius of the windmill?

    Should one actively and intentionally involve the scapula as a part of the radius of the windmill? Like, to have your shoulder really really shrugged up at 12:00 and really really low at release - as opposed to thinking the shoulder as the origin of the circle.

    Counting only Runs Against for Tie Resolution?

    So uh, the rules of ISF on Tie Resolution when several teams has the same win/loss record, is to order the teams only by their Runs Against amount. I don't understand it, because to me the more intuitive way is to count the "total net difference of Runs For - Runs against". So can anyone tell...

    How to correct pop fly?

    I am consistently hitting pop flies towards the 2nd baseman ~ CF area. It seems that no matter what the pitch location, I am always hitting the bottom part or even miss by going under the ball. How can I correct it? Something about my form that might be related (?): I believe my front arm is...

    Frequently hitting the dirt on RH side?

    I am frequently hitting the dirt on the catcher's left hand side, horizontally the same spot most of the time. Now that I think about it, when I release the ball I just kind of "let go" or "unfold" my fingers away from the ball. What's the proper way to grip the ball? The thumb always feel...

    How to throw it with that folding elbow?

    Hi, I come from somewhere where baseball and softball are not popular, and basically I'm a 20yo man playing softball for 1.5 years. I never have a proper throwing action. I usually throw with elbow extended, sometimes over the top, sometimes 3/4, it lacks speed nor power nor accuracy. I want...
