Here are some video clips of ex-Cubs Mark Prior. Notice in the last clip how similar are the deliveries of Pedro and Mark. Here are a few things from the clips common to all good pitchers:
Good balance
Very little head movement
High knee lift
When hands break the weight is distributed about 50/50
Glove pointing toward target and arms shoulder high
Front foot lands towards home plate
Full body extension toward home
After release chest comes forward to meet glove
Throwing hand follows thru to glove side and is nice and loose
Pedro Martinez (l.) and Mark Prior (r.)
We are going to be concentrating a big part of every practice to pitching. Everyone needs to be ready to try pitching.
