Just when I thought I had heard it all...
A pitching instructor in Chicagoland is using this drill:
(1) The pitcher get open, lifts her left foot, and raises the ball to the 12 o'clock position.
(2) While maintaining the ball in the 12 o'clock position and keeping the left foot up, the pitcher hops forward one or two feet on her right leg, landing on her right foot.
(3) She then completes the pitch.
Am I missing something, or is this instructor actually teaching the crow hop?
