    I was just about to throw in the towel on trying to be my sonโ€™s pitching coach. I am athletic and I can pay attention to smart people and smart instructions, however I have never gone deep on pitching mechanics and I had minimal confidence on being a good dad coach. This video revived my hopes and I canโ€™t believe this information is free. Thank you Dan. I hope to meet you some day. Iโ€™m ordering your book, Pitching isnโ€™t Complicated.
  • @fordquaintance
    this dudes the real deal. one of the most real and to the point coaches iโ€™ve seen on youtube. late arm actions been my biggest struggle pitching and this was insanely helpful
  • @joelmedcalf8885
    Great video. Thanks for putting this content out there. Much appreciated.
  • Awesome video Dan. Another video that would be great is proper shoulder rotation and arm action thru the follow-thru. Another thing some of my kids struggle with is lack of shoulder rotation, short arming and lack of pronation on the follow-thru.
  • @donaldhunt4
    Always a great discussion! Thanks for the video!
  • @DanBlewett
    One thing to note that I left out - I'm exaggerating how much bend is in the elbow while it moves, and when you practice your arm action, your arm will probably have a lot more length and less bend and come close to locking out but nottttt quite - all of that is acceptable - dont think you have to look exactly how I showed it. Remember, having some length to your arm action is okay as long as you get to proper timing at foot strike. But, we don't want a locked out arm.

    I needed this video! Well done and thank you coach!
  • @swingstar1980
    I've been looking for a video like this for so long! Thank you! We forget to revisit the fundamentals sometimes.
  • @wesharding2469
    This is some seriously good information. This dude knows hit stuff. I wish I had this information when I was beginning to suffer from my slap tear.
  • @pokeyjoe9276
    This is a great video. I have been having trouble with constant arm pain to where I can barely throw at full potential. I think the topics that were mentioned might help me fix this issue. Thank you very much for the input
  • Amazing video! I'm 13 and I just started pitching and watching your videos has helped me improve a huge amount. Keep posting these great videos!
  • @johnnash9072
    Awsome breakdown of the arm mechanics. I coach a town and a travel team and this will help me help my players make the most of what they have. Thank you for sharing.
  • @GaryEWebster
    Excellent explanation with allowance for individual athletes. This video makes a difference.
  • @blindjustice_
    Really good video. Not many coaches putting things like arm action in understandable terms. Helped me a lot with questions I had about short arm path in the pitching motion. Keep up the great content!
  • Thanks so much, I appreciate your time for learning this, my arm action is bad but whit your video I can change that
