I saw a different picture the other day when he passed

and the first thing that stuck out at me was the absolutely flawless mechanics that today's pitchers would do well to study.

Here it is:

Note how his hips are already through, but yet the arm is still all the way back in the power position. He's driving "down the hill" and he is letting his lower half do all the work, and the arm is just there to guide. This is going to help with both accuracy and velocity, as your lower half is so much stronger than your upper half. The emphasis today (looking at you, Driveline) is to focus on arm and shoulder strength, and that is certainly important because you can only go as fast as you can stop (your arm will eventually break down if it isn't strong enough to withstand the reps). However, what that has led to, IMO (again, glancing in your general direction, Driveline) is a bunch of guys trying to "muscle up" and throw the ball with extreme force, relying heavily on their arms, with the lower half flying open and leading to a lot of glove side run. There has been an emphasis on "pulling the glove" at delivery as a way to emphasize this, and IMO that's going to lead to flying open (again) and over throwing; Jack Bauer (not the guy from 24, but a freshman at Mississippi State) did an interview the other day and everything was perfect about his mechanics until he mentioned that about the glove. He doesn't pull as hard as I've seen (that's what she said), but the fact that he even mentions it is troubling; your upper front side has NOTHING to do with throwing hard. The kid throws 103 +, so obviously he's talented, but my concern is that with the focus on upper front side "pulling" he is going to be vulnerable to trying to overthrow at times and that can lead to elbow/shoulder/kinetic chain issues.
