The following are some basic checkpoints, comments, and observations derived from information previously provided by BM, JS, RP, BH, and MW.
1. Taking the pitchers plate with throwing hand and glove hand separated.
Nice and relaxed.
Weight should be COMPLETELY forward over the DRIVE foot.
2.Hands are brought together.
3. As the throwing arm goes back, all of the weight is on the stride foot, and the COM is back. The drive foot is completely unweighted.
Note: Cat takes the throwing arm back with the back of her hand facing the catcher similar to Sara Pauly. As BM previously mentioned, when you allow your hand to get on top of the ball during the back swing you are more prone to over extending back swing. A palm-facing-back, or palm-facing-body ball position assists in eliminating over extending the backswing.
