Presents a step-by-step overview of proper mechanics while pitching. The mechanical sequence involved is detailed in five areas of focus referred to as ?balance phases?. Each phase is identified, discussed, and illustrated. Among the topics covered in the video: The mechanical sequence of pitching, starting position, rocker step and pivot, lift to balance phase #1, balance phase #1, separation and timing, balance phase #2, drive to plate (heel, hip, and then head), stride foot plant, balance phase #3, backside energy, arm action, balance phase #4, follow-through, balance phase #5, and the stretch delivery.
