Very good point.  The angle may well be making it appear that he is LANDING a little more closed than he really is.  But the distortion is not nearly as bad if you look at his feet after he comes set.  He is definitely closing off.  Look at it from all angles, especially the one from the angle of the 3rd base dugout.    That right foot is still coming set well to the 3rd base side.  And look at the follow through.  The way he is falling off after release is another tip off.  You commented earlier about the elbow being low.  That's very common with guys who land closed and throw across their bodies.  It's a lot harder to throw from a high slot if you land to the third base side, unless you're awfully strong.  The arm typically drops down to compensate. 

There's no question your program will help him.  My apologies for coming off as a jerk, and beating a dead horse.   

I really appreciate everyone's take on my mechanics.  I will begin with working on my starting position (left foot parallel to the rubber vs. cocked towards 3rd base).  When I get to the set position, I have always aligned my front toe with the arch of my back foot…which is how I've been taught.  I pay close attention to where my drag line ends up in reference to the center of the rubber.  I know this is important because it is also something I have both watched and been told my many highly respected pitching coaches.  Maybe starting my set position with my Rt foot parallel to the rubber (Rt toe position determined by where my drag line ends up that day on that mound) will be a good beginning.  I think the "going across my body" is a result of the first move.  If my first move was my hip moving fast towards home plate vs. vertical, both the crossing problem and the closed/open problems would be less.  And with enough repetitions, eventually become a non-issue I hope…moving my butt faster will also help fix the elbow issue you mentioned.  One of the other things I will do (after looking at my vids) is to start with my Rt leg bent a little more, which should help with me being able to engage my lower half better.  The issue is to be able effectively engage my lower half in a way that complements / works together with my upper half.

Coach — I believe that are a number of big differences between the overall mechanics of me pitching two years ago as a 14 yr old and the ones now as a 16 yr old…strength…size…lift…rotation…other mechanical differences, etc.  But if you believe your doing a vid analysis will not be a benefit, than I guess it will not do me any good to ask you to do it. 

Again, I appreciate all the assistance.

Respectfully, George Max 

yes sir…thanks, Coach!
