Tim Lincecum 97 mph fastball | Somax Analysis

Tim Lincecum can pitch 97 mph because he has an efficient delivery. Our Somax ( http://www.somaxsports.com ) analysis measures his Range, Sequence, Separation and Speed to show how he does it. Tim shares a large Stride Angle with Hall of Fame pitchers Nolan Ryan, Sandy Koufax, Greg Maddux, Tom Seaver, Juan Marichal, and Warren Spahn. Pitchers with a small Stride Angle often have a large ERA--as their stiff lower body cannot contribute much power to the pitch. A small Stride Angle also places more stress on the arm, leading to overuse injuries and a short career.

Thank you for posting this. Great vid. Could you do one about a power hitter like Prince Fielder or Mark McGwire?

Analogical Reasoning !

Using the car crash test to explain the principle of the pitcher, that is clever.

The car suddenly stopped and the driver would move forward which is

similar with the pitcher touched down and the upper body moved forward.

Timmy should watch this video to remind himself how he did it.
