I think that's a good assessment, Brent.  I don't know if you've ever met Ron Wolforth (I haven't).  But, he strikes me as a guy with an open mind.  He's always been willing to recognize other coaches who are doing good work and I think he tries to learn from everyone he encounters.  (Not all of the pitching gurus are that way.  Some don't think anyone else has anything to contribute to the discussion of pitching.)  I think he would be impressed with your work.  You should try to get his attention somehow.  You got Reddick's attention.  But, he's not as influential as Wolforth.  And now, Ron's got himself into a Sports Illustrated article.

Interesting to see a pitching article that doesn't mention Tom House.  He's always been the go-to source for stories like this.  Now the younger guys are moving to the front of the line.  I never thought Tom was all that cutting edge.  He's done good work over the years, but I think what he has really done is give credence to other people's work by bringing it into the mainstream.  Like a lot of us, he's done an about-face on a lot of what he used to teach.  I don't mean that as a criticism – I think it's the sign of an open mind and a learner.  I think his best book is "Arm Action, Arm Path, and the Perfect Pitch" (although something about the research doesn't strike me as completely legit.  The case studies are awfully small samples…).  That book confirmed and gave the House and NPA stamp of approval to what a lot of guys like Paul Nyman, Wolforth, and the reincarnated Dick Mills were already teaching.

I think your stroke of genius – I mean that sincerely – and your contribution to the world of pitching was to zero in on the separation of hips and shoulders as the key movement in the entire delivery.  (I've had separation on my video analysis form for years, but I think I thought it was one of those things that were an indicator, but I didn't know how to teach.  Because of what I've learned from you, I've since moved it into a much more prominent placement on my analysis.)  Then your description of the Force Vector and Triple Extension is the best explanation of how to achieve separation of anyone I've ever studied.  If in addition to your excellent analysis of the key components of the delivery, your theories on Olympic Lifting as the best way to develop a pitcher are valid (they ring true to me, but I'm not qualified to know), I think that's your claim to fame and your ticket onto the list of the best pitching instructors on the scene.
