    So you need less head and shoulder movement every inch of head movement is 2 inches of where you want the ball to be placed keep that shoulder inside of your front leg in between act like your biting and apple with your glove if you look at all NFL quarter backs that’s what they do and the more shoulder tilt you have it’s gonna move you are more leading you to miss high I learned this from my pitching Coach Tom house aka the father of pitching mechanics I don’t post but look more into National pitching association you’ll find us Tom house teaches almost all NFL quarterbacks and a lot of MLB pitcher hall of gamers like Nolan Ryan or Randy Johnson the best of the best reply back for questions

    top: feet are farther apart so when he picks it up he has more momentum to drive down the mound bottom: his arm action is better and it whips up to 90 better

      @WestCoastPerformance 3 місяці тому

      Look where he sets up his hands. Bottom video is 91mph and higher intensity. Top video is 78 and is lower intensity but before making a few changes to his delivery
