As usual, great job, Kyle! I’m now doubly glad that I was able to pull an autographed baseball card of this guy after pulling down three packs of 2008 Bowman at the local drug store, heh.

He uses the prototypical ‘traditional’ baseball pitching motion.

    That means that he starts by turning his pitching foot to parallel
with the pitching rubber and raising both arms high over his head.

    Then, as he starts to lower his glove and pitching arms, he lifts
his glove leg very high off the ground. He nearly touches his chest with
his glove knee.

    Interestingly, he starts to lower his glove leg while his glove and
pitching arms are still chest high. Usually, ‘traditional’ baseball
pitchers wait until their glove and pitching arms are closer to waist
high.

    This early lowering of his glove leg means that he starts to move
the center of mass of his body forward earlier with regard to his
backward movement of his pitching arm.

    He reverse rotates his hips very far beyond second base. I would
estimate that his hips point at least sixty degrees beyond second base.

    However, he reverse rotates his shoulders only about thirty degrees
beyond second base.

    While he takes the baseball out of his glove with his pitching hand
on top of the baseball, he does not raise his pitching elbow to shoulder
height before his pitching hand reaches driveline height. This means
that he does not have ‘Reverse Pitching Forearm Bounce.’ Therefore, I
would say that he is not in danger of rupturing his Ulnar Collateral
Ligament.

    While he reverse rotates his pitching upper arm farther than he
reverse rotates his shoulders, which means that he takes his pitching
elbow behind his acromial line, he does not generate much force.
Therefore, I do not believe that he will suffer serious front of the
pitching shoulder problems.

    He also does not ‘grab,’ which means that he does not bend his
pitching elbow tight to his pitching shoulder before he starts to move
his pitching elbow forward. Therefore, he does not have a ‘loop.’

    However, he does take his pitching arm at least two and one-half
feet laterally behind his body toward third base. This means that, to
return his pitching arm to the pitching arm side of his body, he has to
apply sideways force to the pitching arm side of his body.

    Therefore, he does have a serious problem with ‘Pitching Forearm
Flyout.’ As a result, the horizontal centripetal force that he generates
toward the pitching arm side of his body slingshots his pitching arm
away from the pitching arm side of his body.

    This means that, to prevent the olecranon process of his pitching
elbow from slamming into its fossa, he has to powerfully contract his
Brachialis muscle. Therefore, he will enlarge the coronoid process of
his Ulna bone and lose flexion range of motion in his pitching elbow.

    To determine whether he supinates the release of his breaking
pitches, I would need to see high-speed film of his releases.
Nevertheless, because ‘traditional’ baseball pitchers typically release
their breaking pitches over top of their index finger with their
pitching thumb turned upward, I believe that he does supinate the
releases of his breaking pitches.

    Therefore, he will occasionally slam the olecranon process of his
pitching elbow into its fossa. As a result, he will lose extension range
of motion in his pitching elbow.

    The extreme horizontal centripetal force of his ‘Pitching Forearm
Flyout’ requires that he pulls his pitching arm forward. Therefore, he
will suffer injuries to the front of his pitching shoulder. Also,
because, to dissipate this force, his pitching arm moves across the
front of his body and downward, he will unnecessarily stress the back of
his pitching shoulder and posterior Labrum. Fortunately, he pulls his
pitching arm more downwardly than across the front of his body, which
decreases the lateral stress.

    With regard to his body action:

01. When he drives his body forward off the pitching rubber, he puts
extreme stress on the medial and lateral sides of his pitching knee.
Therefore, he will lengthen the Medial Collateral Ligament and damage
the lateral surface of his glove knee. As some point, I expect that he
will tear his Lateral Meniscus.

02. Because he reverse rotates his hips so far beyond second base, he
places severe stress on the medial and lateral aspects of his pitching
hip. While this injury usually takes years to manifest, with the
intensity of his hip rotation, I expect that he will injure his pitching
hip.

03. Lastly, Mr. Price strides too far and strides closed. Therefore, he
places severe stress on the L5-S1 inter-vertebral disk. While this
injury also usually takes years to manifest, with the intensity of his
forward bend, I expect that he will injure his lower back.
