This is a clip of me shot on Wednesday Feb. 13. The good things about this, my tempo (speed) is good as I'm gaining momentum up until I'm releasing the ball.
Lets look at some things to fix, when I raise my right leg, i am leaning into my throw already. Ideally I'd like to stay back a little more as I am taking about from my legs by leaning towards the plate this early. My right arm (glove arm) is flying open. This is ok from the outfield as it helps you pull with you body, but from a pitching stand point, this isn't good. When you open up early, you are not able to release the ball in front of you as is desired. This way, you release it behind your head thus enabling the hitter to pick up the ball earlier. Also, it often makes you release the ball higher, throwing more high pitches. if you keep the arm out in front of you, you will be able to get on top of throw thus throwing the ball down hill/at a downward angle. A downward angle ball has more deception and is harder to hit.
