Other than to push off of the pitchng plate, what is the real role of the pivot foot?
Is it just a "rudder" for balance (Hal Skinner) or does it add to the "closing of the hips" to generate power to the pitch.
You look at the elite pitchers and the pivot foot seems to be doing more than just dragging lightly behind the pitcher.
