Previous Seasons

I've been to many games, and I've looked through hundreds of pictures of players pitching. Pitching is one of those skills that gets better with practice and guidance.  As such, I want to share two items which based off my observations, could help some of our pitchers.
Pitch stride - A pitcher should use the mound to push off towards the batter.  Their stride should be the maximum distance they are comfortable stepping.  That said it shouldn't be a step like a walk, it should be a greater distance.  The general rule is a good stride should be equal to the players height.  The below picture shows a good pitch stride (2016 Photo).
