Watching OSU and FS. OSU pitcher looks like HE to me without a HE finish. I mean, she seems to have a straight elbow all the way through to delivery. So what am I seeing?
Yeah her delivery looks odd. Reminds me of a medieval trebuchet. Very nice change-up. Not a motion you see very often. She is tall maybe that makes her look a little strange with that delivery.

I love that you compared her motion to a trebuchet! Every time I try to explain the futility of the wrist snap to someone, I use the trebuchet as an example -- the loose sling at the end of the lever. I get a lot of blank stares... :ROFLMAO:

She is certainly straigher than most from the top through 9pm and maybe not the best way of getting there, but by delivery the arm has gone through a whip, is bent, brushed and classic IR through release and follow through.

I'm not surprised that parents don't want medieval coaching methods. :D
