Do you think she was taught to monkey butt, limit her brush to the tricep, land with her front foot at 90 degrees and bounce over her landing foot?
I also appreciate her unique solution. As an instructor I am always faced with decisions about what to change and what to allow. Pickens makes those decisions harder.
Isn't the "limited brush" the 1st thing most pitching coaches would address as a flaw? This seems the farthest from what is considered sound to fundamental pitching mechanics to me.
She seems on the other side of the spectrum from this brush/release point in the pic below.
