THE BALL/PALM MORE UP THEN SIDEWAYS AT 9:00

Thanks!

That is what I wanted to know. So, the ball is somewhere between up and sideways, with the preference being more up than sideways.

Do we really have to comb though the hundreds of clips I (and others) have posted showing THE BALL/PALM MORE UP THEN SIDEWAYS AT 9:00 because you're on a "campaign" going on about what's important and what isn't so important??

No, you didn't need to do that. I'm just a poor, lost soul trying to find "truth" and "knowledge" from the unlikeliest source.

Is it my eyes? but to me it looks like the first and last pitcher above have the ball facing third not up. I like to read all the experts info here and try to learn as much as i can but DAMNNNN...why does it always seem like someone is putting someone else down? Ugh sigh :(

In order to put it all into context typically requires knowledge of the pitch being thrown. The position at 9 may be different from pitch to pitch. Also to OLIF's point some kids are more flexible than others. My DD is a freak and can rotate the ball past palm up to 1b. Other players struggle with palm up.
