This question can stir up a big argument about the value of the pitching arm but there is only one answer. The pitching arm does not generate the velocity. It only guides the pitch. Therefore the pitching arm must follow the body and does not come into play until the...

Is bad pitching mechanics a sign of poor awareness of movement or muscular weakness? Above average coordination takes fast twitch muscle strength. Fast twitch motor neurons recruit more muscle fibers. This means more control of the body and also more explosive power....
