Efficiency and Accuracy ~
Yes it's really another discussion about pop times 🙂
*Technically really about how do we achieve great pop times.
Because it can take more than throwing velocity to make a pop time great.
* Efficient mechanics help make great pop times happen.

Since calculating pop times includes throwing mechanics we should take a look at any time delays in getting the ball out of the glove and what the body is doing. where the weight is Shifting are really important things to take a look at.
If we pay attention to those factors we can recognize how important Less time to release throw is and how helpful using all our body muscles in one fluid motion with no downtime from the ball touching our hand to the moment it leaves it can be.

Heres an awesome example to 3rd.

Here's another look at a throw going to second base.
Really like this video
at the beginning see the catcher talking to the pitcher.
see her glance over and make eye contact with the short stop.
Everything in connection for the next play that needs to be made. Including the efficiency of the shortstop and a beautiful tag on her end.

Efficient and precise!
Transition happening as body is pivoting driving forward into throw. Energy driving forward.
Torso and legs provide athleticism as hips torso shoulders rotate into the arm following through. Quickly
