Interesting, the release action she shows/describes.......I've always thought with a fastball the fingers were directly behind the ball at release. She seems to be showing a bullet spin release. Tried slowing down her actual pitch and to the best of my viewing it doesn't look like she is performing the same movement she described.
Anyone else see any differences in description and actual pitch release action?

It's a bullet spin release in her demonstration.
Again, I think she goes back to what she was taught as a youngster when she teaches. I'm not sure who her original PC was, but she is from the Houston area and her and my DD have pitched against each other since 10u and bullet spins were the predominate spin taught by most PC's in the area at the time she was learning.

The reason why many PC's dismiss drills beyond anything besides a teaching point, is because the motion in drills does not translate well to what happens in the full motion. Watching an elite pitcher demonstrate a drill does not equal watching an elite pitcher pitch. You may as well have the pitcher show you how to paint a rainbow and explain how that equates to pitching.

I'd love a peek at the current library! Heck, I'd be thrilled with the old one!
