I was talking about drastic arm slot changes for specific pitch types. I would agree that a pitchers release point is easily within a 1-4 inch variance like you stated.

His dad is about 6’5 and he has recently grown quite a bit …

@@CoachConnerPorter that’s good i’m an inch off but he looks like he’d have some great stuff!

Good to know! Thanks for the support!

@@slikballa the best way to get better is to understand why you are doing what you do. No other way around it.

False

1 is not a balk, but #3 is.

Post a video of what your pickoff moves look like. 😂😂😂

@@CoachConnerPorter I could be 5, quadriplegic, or Nolan Ryan. None of that changes the fact that he ain't pickin off shit with that throw.

@@countryfuciuslol so you are just a big talker on the internet. 😂😂😂

@@CoachConnerPorter You don't have to be a professional to be a sports analyst or a coach. You sound dumb.

Come to D-Bat Evansville and get one for yourself dude!!!

You can never have 2 primary focuses! BOOM!!! 💥

HAHAHAHAHHAH maybe I need to patent “The firewood maker”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH

Both have to have to be able to rotate well! Pitcher does have to use their front leg to allow the upper half to snap over a strong fulcrum, kind of like in hitting where they stay back, but yes altogether very different movements!

@@CoachConnerPorter exactly!

It’s what it has always been called! Give it a google!

@@CoachConnerPorter Gotcha, I didn't know if this was something you coined or just an industry standard name for the movement. Still funny though that it's just an 'M' ;)

It's still an M no matter what it's been called

@@smudent2010 it’s worth a google. 😂

​@smudent2010 Thanks genius. We'd be lost without you.

LETS GET IT!!

The throwing motion rotates around the spine. The further away the hand is from the spine the hand will move faster. It’s basically rotational leverage. Think about a longer lever arm versus a shorter one. The longer one will move faster at the far end with less effort compared to shorter one. I think about swinging a long stick outside in the yard, you can hear it slice through the air when you swing it. But you can pick up a short stick and swing it as hard as you can and never hear it make the whooshing sound through the air. Same principle for creating handspeed.

Well said. If you could add a video or commentary on how to effectively make this happen we would appreciate it. We like all the videos. Info. Format.detail. Etc it’s great keep up the good work.

@@Unoriginal42069 I just dropped this video tonight! Check it out!!

Sedentary lifestyles have created what you’re talking about. I guess we are going to ignore Bob Gibson, Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson, Justin Verlander and many others careers? Spotting up and throwing 84 doesn’t cut it. Hitters and pitchers are better than they have ever been. That’s why starters can’t go further than 5 innings during a bad outing because most hitters on every MLB team right now would have been a superstar in every other era likely before 1995.

@CoachConnerPorter I'm not ignoring those guys, if anything I am using them as a prime example of how different bodies are built for different things. Trying to make every pitcher a high velo pitcher can ruin careers of young players who could have been successful without having to throw in the mid to high 90s. There can be a middle ground of manageable velo training without having this mindset of milking every mph possible out of an arm on every throw. It's not sustainable. Does speed help? Yes but you shouldn't force it if that isn't your strength. There are plenty of examples of successful pitchers that didn't have a 98 mph fastball. Great coaches try to maximize each players' individual talents, not try to mold every player into their idea of the ideal player. I'm not saying you aren't a great coach because all I've seen is this one video, I just don't exactly agree with the message this video is putting out there.

@@jameszaimes7407 I would argue that you didn’t watch the entire video, just the first sentence that I said.

@CoachConnerPorter I watched the whole video and I will admit I missed where you did say you have to be built for it, so my mistake. It has been a long day so I didn't catch that. Apologies. If you would like me to delete my criticisms to not draw negative comments toward your post, I have no issue doing that.

Yeah

Most of the time off speed pitches are used to throw the batters timing off and get swing and misses, not a called strike. If it’s a called strike then that is just a bonus to what the pitch is thrown for

I bet you would have swung at it though!

Bro changeups are not even really meant to hit the strike zone.

​@@CoachConnerPorterhe would have

H

That’s right bro! 😤
