First time posting any sort of video of my son. This is a bullpen session he had the other day. He is 13u playing up in 14u. It is in 4x slow motion.

He looks really good to me. Really good. If i had to pick something to work on, I'd say (1) lessen the rocking back onto his back leg, don't try to get to a balance point and (2) keeping that front should closed another fraction of a second and get better separation. Some may want to see that front leg firmed up. Such a subtle thing, I'm not even sure it's worth mentioning, he will likely develop as he continues to grow. How's he fairing in 14u?Last edited by pthawaii; 06-13-2018, 04:37 PM.Never played baseball, just a dad of someone that loves to play. So take any advice I post with a grain of salt.

coronel21,
“First time posting any sort of video of my son.”
Are you posting for suggestions on how to improve his Power? asses his mechanical performance for injurious effects? Trainimg, drills?
“ He is 13u playing up in 14u”
“It is in 4x slow motion.”
“Pitching mechanics analysis.”
It relies on tension angulation to help attain velocity, not length or body rotation because of it's late arriving Humerus into outwards rotation. Unfortunately it has been repeat examined and proven by many with this approach you also need restrictions on counts and they are again finding out the counts they use now are still way to many.
This approach is known to cause hundreds of types of joint injuries and muscle neural imbalances leading to muscle eccentric pulls because of it's intuitive forearm supinated drives, miss-alignments and disconnected drive kinetic chain and kinetic recoveries.
Have you noticed all of a sudden how many of the MLB pitchers are driving the ball while staying tall and all the way thru recovery?
Have you noticed the proliferation in in “Backed up pitch types” like Sinkers and the rest.
Did you ever wonder why it's now OK to do this?

Looks like he has good general mobility and starts off pretty well. He could improve his lower half a good bit (doesn't load his back leg as well as he could or brace with his front leg as well as he could). His overall movement seems overly linear and less rotational to me. He can get more power by loading more into his glutes and being more rotational.

Watch his back leg and his front leg. Basically going straight (not really loading his back leg and rotating into his front). Kinda pushing forward with his upper half (also watch how his upper half ends up on the follow through).
Some good discussion here:

None of this is meant to be overly critical. I think this pitcher has really solid upside.Last edited by mcloven; 06-15-2018, 07:28 AM.
