new backswing?

i thought her pitches came in pretty good, but at what expense?

She is very close to breaking the 1 1/2 revolutions rule. I can't believe her body has not given up on her.

The speed was fine, but I doubt she is getting much spin with those body positions and who knows how many edits it took to get good pitches. I prefer continuous video when showing a pitcher's skill, it confirms that the accuracy is as advertised.

I showed my dd and first thing she said was "Oh my God, how could she last a game, I'm tired just watching her." Then we moved off into how warm a pitcher would need to be in early season to prevent muscle pulls and such. Which led to comments about to trying to pitch with that motion with a pulled muscle.

Like I said, I wish her well.

Another pitcher in the same facility, same mechanics:

Is that a replant squeak we hear?

I am a total neophyte but my first thought was she is pitching illegally. Of course that has nothing to do with her back swing just seems to replant on every pitch.

We have a clear case of pitching malpractice here. Who wants to hunt down the PC and give him a link to the forum?

neither pitcher makes any sense to me mechanics wise. neither has any real movement. the videos are highly edited. and the second one wants coaches to believe she throws 63mph just dangling her glove arm. In the first video the tell on the off speed stuff is just short of announcing it with a blow horn. I wish them both the best of luck with all that, but jeez.

yep. both pitchers are replanting. but sometimes blue calls it, sometimes they dont
