this pitching position is called the stretch. There are a few more mechanical things wrong in this one. I use my body to start the movement which is evident by the rock in my body before I lift my leg. It won't affect my pitching a whole lot but base runners can use that as a timing device when trying to steal. More evident than the other clip, when I lift my right leg, i lean forward a lot. I won't be able to pick a runner off at first, also, I am taking away power from my legs and hips. need to come straight up and start off straight down before moving forward. Need to get a little rock in my back leg (left leg). Bend it slightly and use the built up energy to extend the leg and push off, which will give me more velocity. same thing here with right arm and keeping it in front of me though I think I did a little better job on this one than the last one.

On a good note though: SUNS OUT GUNS OUT!!!
