A few years ago when I first started watching and analyzing elite pitchers (mostly watching the college softball world series) I noticed different pitchers had different yet similar mechanics, especially with their follow throughs. Back then I didn't realize there were so many variations not only due to different individual styles, but because different pitches were being thrown, but now I do. What this all boils down to is how beneficial is it to compare elite pitchers unless they are all thowning the same pitch? If I watch Jenny Finches hips at release and note they're mostly open, yet Ueno's are mostly closed what does it mean since since Finch is throwing a rise while Ueno is throwing a curve?
