    A great video, helpful and easy to follow. Nice slow step by step to start as you talk through it, then speed up to a more natural pace, and I appreciate that you added some live throws at the end versus your older videos where you didn't.

    Thank you for all you do. I know I appreciate it so much and I'm sure others do too.

    As a "senior" I've had a long time to work on bad habits, which I'm (thanks to you) working to correct. How do I best work on the very important throwing accuracy? Throw into a net? Thanks and please keep up the videos!

      Throwing more from all different types of distances and directions - the type of target doesnt so much matter (net or a partner is fine)

    Why behind instead of in front? I've seen both, so just curious on your take.

      behind sets your chest faster - stepping in front allows players to easily land with their chest facing forward, which is very bad

    So is the crow hop old school?

      no MLB outfielders do the crow hop anymore.

    We teach a “jab step” with the foot in front instead of behind. Is there a difference?

      I read the comment below after I asked the question. Thanks

    What I can't seem to get is the arm mechanics; some players seem to be able to throw the ball so that it almost seems level and hisses as it goes by. I've never been able to do that. Am I too rigid? I can confidently bench 225, so I don't think it's a strength thing... my technique is clearly lacking.

      Bench press matters zero
