Hey Rick Mud,

You throw very well, keep up your good work.

You mentioned that your team placed 2nd. in the Mo. state, where in Mo. do you live? throw your off speed pitches like you are throwing your fast ball, same body and arm speed, make sure when you take the ball out of your glove do so at o...

Wrong way Corrigan,

Sounded like the umpire called out, he must be one of the (3)blind mice.

Hey,

Watchandbeamused after the hips have started through their weight shift just the split second prior to the peak of the leg lift the ball needs to come out of the glove from down like Lincecum or come out of the glove a little lower than waist high, then come down, back around and up with n...

Hey ChrisKOLeary,I have to agree with you wholeheartedly. if there is a way to acquire chronic sore arms and surgeries getting the elbow above the shoulders and above all as high as Harris tells them to do, that is it.

The pitching body when in proper motion creates a non stop, non hesitating or pausing at the top of the leg lift, leading w/ hip from the rubber to triple extended drive leg ankle, knee and hip flexor, w/ side ways body movement into a stride length of at least matching one's body height into h...

Fellas:

Listen to what Dick says about bull pen blocks & rest times in between each block, bull pens of which there should be two per. week with pitching one game per. week only.

Bull pens are for working things out, the intensity and time between pitches needs to be at a lower intensity and slo...

At 5-11 I measured my elbow distance to be 14 inches apart, during my swing approach to the ball I was doing better when I kept them at that distance .

The reason nobody yet understands the swing is that 99&44/100 percent of the people spend their time experimenting and attempting ...

Take the pitching movements for instance, The scientific research has and still is showing how the body should work during these movements indifference as to how the body does naturally work during these movements.

during the body's natural pitching movements most body parts move together or at ...

The transition to wood is going to be a long hall for coaches and players as well.

I watch game after game batters nowadays have no idea of how to use their hips & hands, if they ever get their hands going they do so with their shoulders going at the same time, they have no idea of h...

Hey jhflog, pgatour,littlerockpro,scoteeball, how ya doin?

What a coincidence, I went to Northeast High school in KC, Mo. with Tom Pernices Dad in 48-49 & 50, how about that, the last time I saw him i got a haircut at his shop On Independence avenue, I imagine Tom Sr. is retired by now.

Addition to comments below.

in contrast as to how the body should work through it's pitching / throwing movement from start to finish is quite interesting,you might try it by listening to what Paul and other very experienced and knowledgeable people say. I can tell you that what Paul says certai...

What I am concerned with here is that the hips lead the way and are the first body part to start one's forward movement, then followed by the front foot leading the leg to front foot touch down, your demonstration shows your front foot first leading the leg into forward movement while the hips ju...

Excellent advice & demo. but the type of throwing movement demonstrated is basically for outfielders and pitchers, infielders and catchers should have a shorter and circular arm movement which creates quicker arm speed from hand breaking from glove to release point, this type of throwing arm move...

What we all see in most pitchers from the major league level right on down through their minor systems into college,high school and our youth levels is that the front foot moves first and leads the leg away from the rubber, and just kills the initial hip movement which should first lead the way a...
