At LSU the last couple of years I started noticing with Carlie Hoover they get real low almost crouched down at the beginning of the pitch. Then explode towards home plate. Last year Gorsuch crouched down at the beginning and exploded up creating a leap and sometimes got so high it turned into a crow hop. Her drive knee was also turning out to 3rd. This year I can tell she is exploding towards home and staying low it really looks uncomfortable to me but her knee is staying straighter and the leap is gone. I tried this motion of crouched down and did not feel it would gain an advantage I don’t know if this is a coached move at LSU just noticed a lot of pitchers at LSU do it.What does that mean, low approach? What does that have to do with the cause of a crow hop?
