  • Best way to keep you away from injury...be in a position to throw the ball down hill. Don't create down hill movement. That is what the incline on the mound is for.

  • hi. i played little league for five years until I was 12. i usually pitched maximum one or two innings in a game, but in those two innings i threw really hard. now, I am almost sixteen, out of baseball, and I cannot do pushups, pullups, chinups, etc without abnormal pain in my right shoulder. did i do something wrong, or am i just favoring my right arm during those types of exercises?

  • awesome tip. although i think i've always done a good job of that

  • when pitchers throw like tht i can see wht pitch it is and i hit it every time i see it because they throw like that

  • There are many different arm slots, one is not better than the other.All pitchers are different.

  • he's talking about which will hurt later in life

  • Idea of the front side glove being pointed at the target is incorrect. Some do it a large number don't. Clemens for example extends his front side glove perpendicular to his body/ the purpose being to slow down upper body rotation allowing the hips to open first and then with the stretch of muscle/ tendon etc across the middle of the body the will yank or pull the upper torso in a powerful rotation. It is all about maintaining the acromial line, witht he arm stying connected to the torso...

  • many major league pitchers keep there able below their shoulders. Specifically the ones that don't experience very many arm injuries. Tim Lincecum, Roy Oswalt, Greg Maddux, Dan Haren, Randy Johnson, just to name a few..

  • Tim, Roy and Haren are all high three quarters on release. Arm slot is not where your arm is raised to it has to do with shoulder tilt. None of the those pitchers has an arm path that brings their elbow to their point of release below the shoulder. If they did they would all be hurt.
