Re: Tim Lincecum Slow-mo

With all due respect, RMR, that sounds contrarian to me. Contortions are not part of an OFers throw. An OFer's throwing motion is also designed more for distance with a bigger target for a "good" throw than a pitch. Repeatability would also be near impossible for all but a few, which is why "freak" is a great nickname here. It's horrid mechanics, wouldn't recommend it anymore than the one the Padres' reliever from last night uses. Repeatability is the most important factor for any pitcher at any level, and this is not really teachable.
