I have already made the argument that the body generates the velocity of the pitch and not the arm. This article will continue to prove this point and give the pitcher a better understanding of how elite pitching velocity is generated. This will challenge conventional...

"Scap Loading" is the pinching of the shoulder blades or scapula during hip to shoulder separation. It is an important factor to velocity. Notice the picture here of Greg Maddux "Scap Loading". The question is, is "Scap Loading" a reaction to the stride or is it a...
