Baseball Pitching: The Fix

In the Lessons from the MLB, Joe and Angel discuss the use of stats during the game to determine when to pull a pitcher. Angel shares an innovative idea for MLB teams to consider that could help them take additional care of their pitchers. In the Teaching Moment, front-leg knee mechanics is discussed. Using a photo presentation that you can see on her YouTube Channel, she discusses how the common habit of pulling and extending the front knee backward, away from the target, costs velocity as well as knee health. You won’t believe what you will see in the still-shots with regard to the release point. A picture truly is worth a thousand words. And in the 9th inning, Angel gives coaches another tool to help them protect their pitchers’ valuable arms. You will get specific information as to the connection between where a pitcher says he his hurting and where in his mechanics you should look for the possible cause. This is a don’t-miss segment for all coaches. https://www.hbo.com/real-sports-with-bryant-gumbel Cont
