    Bill Hillhouse interview

    I have a 12 year old that I have worked with for a little over a year. She throws heat for 12. Easily between 55 and 58. She whips and brushes and throws hard. However, because her release is brush timed, she struggles with a consistent palm and finger position at release to consistently...

    1984 Mike White pitching

    Jimmy Moore - the skinny tall right hander for Canam that came in late in the game - is my favorite. His change-up was incredible. Too bad the only views are from behind.

    Pitcher daughter can't throw overhand to first base

    Young kids grow up spending way too many hours performing drills (most of which are harmful) or warming up throwing to another person that is directly across from them. This overused repetition teaches a somewhat boring static one direction throw and trains the athleticism out of most kids. In...

    12U - this weekend - please critique - thanks

    well - here's another vid for review. She is now using the rubber for practice and stepping off the rubber - will start to work on driving off the rubber with a better pre-motion for drive and drag. This pitch shows several issues to work on. Drive leg kicks out too far behind her. Brush was...

    12U - this weekend - please critique - thanks

    Thanks everyone for your observations. I deleted the 3 older vids and left the most recent vid. It was pointed out to me by a very special HOFer that the ball was briefly pointed towards 1st base during the upswing and that she corrected it with her elbow down the back side. He also said her...

    12U - this weekend - please critique - thanks

    She took just a few lessons from a college pitcher a year or so ago. ( ball turns and faces 2nd at top, push down wave up ) We have been together over the last 4 months. I have a vid that her dad captured(he is her catcher) a few weeks ago. A few changes have been made since. She is a tall...

    Overlap sequence in drive with no back swing at all???

    First off, thanks for the help! Question on push push. Does the first push come from the heel of the stride foot in order to break the initial inertial force? Again, thanks for any reply.

    What do I Mean

    What do I Mean

    This is for Boardmember. During the moment of the "throw", back of drive leg to front of drive leg, what or how does the thumb move in order to assist or not hinder getting the ball to roll off the ends of the fingers?

    I/R in the Classroom

    upperarm during IR - is there IR in the glove arm? This is for BoardMember. I have several clips of male pitchers in their prime. For example: Moore and Meredith Their upper arm movement during release and follow thru are good examples of the IR. Does the opposite arm(glove arm) perform a...
