a) From the power position, extend arms forward toward target with
glove hand covering the ball in the pitching hand. Revolve the pitching
arm in the complete windmill motion without moving your feet. Rotate
the hips and shoulders to the "open" position as the pitching arm
swings overhead, and then close as forcefully as possible when the
pitching arm reaches straight back from the shoulder. The glove
arm should be moving down to the side to assist this closing rotation.
Make sure your arm remains in a plane that intersects the target
during all phases of the arm revolution and keep the arm extended
and relaxed.
b) As the elbow is pulled downward to the hip, initiate the arm
whip and release the ball with a wrist snap so that it rolls of
the ends of the fingers (unless practicing an advanced pitch).
