Some coaches might not analyze mechanics deeply enough.

They might rely on how a pitcher's motion looks superficially, rather than analyzing the underlying mechanics.

These coaches might not ask critical questions about why a pitcher is struggling.

If coaches don't analyze mechanics properly, they might miss key flaws that hinder performance.

• A common, undiagnosed issue is a lack of lower body engagement, which can limit power and location.
• Pitchers with underlying mechanical problems might also struggle with velocity.

Online resources offer a more analytical approach to pitching mechanics.

• Detailed examination of a pitcher's motion, potentially revealing issues invisible to the naked eye.
• Online instruction emphasizes identifying and addressing the underlying reasons behind pitching problems, like a lack of lower body engagement.

Overall ...

• Their analysis effectively highlights the potential strengths and weaknesses of both traditional and online pitching instruction.
• The effectiveness of some traditional coaching methods suggests that online pitching instruction can provide a more thorough analysis of mechanics, leading to better results.
