Moving this sub-question to it's own thread in the Pitching forum instead of in the Hitting forum:
Can someone explain Lisa Fernandez's shoulder mechanics in this? It's such a violent throw of her shoulder that doesn't seem to exist in modern pitchers. What's going on there, why isn't this taught anymore, etc.?
I've seen a girl or two throw like this in younger-level travel games, and maybe it's a hangover from someone in this era teaching her?

Go on youtube and watch the old fastpitch swing and game. Listen to the thud making contact.
