Yeah, at the moment I throw "old man windmill" e.g. stiff as hell cannot get to 12 o'clock windmill, usually from 15 to 20 feet behind an L-screen. My sons will have the advantage of having Dad being able to throw better BP to them..assuming my arm doesn't fall off.Yeah it is completely different but IMO you gotta try, after one year at 12U I just taught myself to pitch worked out great cause my DD was learning to be a catcher; you just wear out your pitchers arms during BP and while I always did a rotation with the machine it's not exactly the same, neither is being behind a screen 25 or 30 feet away. Almost got really clocked once though by best hitter on our team hit an absolute screamer back at me all I could do was put glove in front of my face then fell backwards flat on my back...I always recommend masks for pitchers now, it was an adreniline rush I don't ever really want to expierience again.
