Here's how Jeff Suppan actually throws a 90MPH fastball.
This is what I teach.
I think it's crazy to teach a kid -- male or female -- to throw any other way, especially when there's no justification for that other way or evidence that good throwers actually throw that other way and there is evidence that that other way leads to elbow problems in baseball pitchers.
But maybe that's just me.
Chris,
If you go to frame 30 & 31 on your gif, you can see he is not pointing the ball towards 3rd. It's not quite 2nd either, but probably closer to the SS.
I will say that I stopped teaching the pointing to 2nd after I read your site and posts. I do tell my kids to point towards 3rd.
