Re: Are pitchers "rotational", "linear", or both?

Just like hitting, pitching is a combination of both rotation and directional mechanics. It is not the discus where direction doesn't count. With pitching, the core rotates, but after plant the arm moves in a linear way towards the target. If you throw around the ball you lose velocity and movement. jima
