UW!

He drags his back foot about 1 foot. Is he throwing a changeup?

[FastWalkToFresno]

@rwatkins1525 Dragging your foot for a change-up is a myth/incorrect mechanics. Change-ups are thrown with changes in grip and forearm/wrist angle (i.e., with the palm out – opposite of a curve ball), not with changes in throwing mechanics. All pitchers with good mechanics will have a 'drag line' on every pitch they throw. In other words, all pitchers should have a drag line on every pitch regardless of pitch type.

I knew it was Lincecum in the first 2 seconds..

[alexlvsport]

@andros1984

Helps when his name is on the back ha. I know what you mean same here.

[pholmes113]

@andros1984 probly cause his shirt says lincecum.. but thats just a guess

[pgoody]

The sub title is a play on words... obviously he has won 2 cy youngs so hes above average everybody knows that...

[underdog0821]

Isn't this Tim Lincecum with the Giants in his early years?

[frankd16]

Yeah, University of Washington

[HelloImMateo]

@underdog0821 Si.

[jow43]

no one mechanics are "perfect" as long as he pitches for a long time injury free and has a good career then its all good

[gnohc]

he does not have "the best mechanics in the league" lol.

he has a unique style that works very well for him.

[SimpleStuff31]

@gnohc actually he just about does, leg drive hip separation, he doesnt use the arm at all, i think he could win the elusive 300 games.

[alexlvsport]

@gnohc

Depends on how you define "best mechanics in the league". He is efficent in delivering the ball using his entire body to throw. Has no inverted v or w or l which increase load on the shoulder and elbow. He has awesome hip shoulder separation along with body tilt. I don't see why he doesn't have good mechanics look at older pitchers such as bob feller, sandy koulfax and christy matthewson who use their entire body to throw not arm, Who do you think has good mechanics?

[SimpleStuff31]

@alexlvsport did u say lincecum has no inverted L or were you talking about someone else.

[TopProspect15]

Wow can you plz go back and change the info on the Video. Hes not an above average RHP.

[SimpleStuff31]

Should it say super above average?

[sh4rpsh0t33]

I wish I had his leg power and flexibility.
