If you think about it, we see Jennie Finch and Monica Abbott and many other outstanding DIV I pitchers even today, we find flaws. That said, CoachFP makes a good point - what matters is whether they are successful. VERY few of the girls we work with or watch will ever be known as the best in the country, nonetheless, they are successful to a sufficient degree. EVERYBODY could be better at what they do, AND NO ONE is perfect, nor do they have just perfect mechanics.
here's my problem.... I video a pitcher, analyze it and pick out what we need to work on. I certainly wouldn't ever claim to be an expert. By the time you THINK you know what you are doing, we get new biomechanics and physics studies that teach us better ways to teach and mechanics that seemed to work for years are no longer are valid.
** I've either learned or decided NOT to be anal, that I don't need EVERY pitcher to have the same mechanics. What I try and do is correct areas of her mechanics that hurt her performance, BUT I have freinds that want to pick out flaws and suggest they do this and that, and yet I listen in amazement when I see my pitcher successful and improving.
