Dr. Marshall's Amazing Twelve Year Old PitcherI recommended that they do a 60-Day Youth Baseball Pitchers Motor Skill Acquisition Program where, to learn how to properly release all pitches, they used only lids, plastic javelins and appropriately-sized footballs. Through the summer, before a hurricane devastated their home, the father took 300 frames per second video of his son and posted them on YouTube. I would watch the videos and provide whatever guidance that I could. The improvement was remarkable. Then, after weeks of not hearing from the father, they had lost their internet connection, the father blackberried me that his son had learned how to move the center of mass of his body in front of his glove foot, such that he could release the baseball just before his pitching foot landed; about eight feet in front of the pitching rubber. I told him that I had to see this. The father sent me a computer disk on which he included one side view of his son throwing a Torque Fastball and four front views of his son throwing my Torque Fastball, Maxline Fastball, Maxline Pronation Curve and Maxline True Screwball. I and my guys were utterly amazed. The guys ran outside and tried to emulate this young man's body action. The father, mother and son have graciously agreed to share their experiences with other fathers, mothers and son, who share their love of baseball pitching. I hope that I can do justice to their amazing accomplishment. |
