Dr. Mike
Marshall 101
5/55/2007
In the interest of being fully
informed, I have read everything I can by the major pitching gurus
(Tom House, Dick Mills, Paul Nyman, Bill Thurston, Bob Cluck, John
Bagnozzi and others) as well as a number of current and former major league pitchers
(Tom Seaver, Nolan Ryan, and Randy Johnson).
While I have found that each of
them has a few interesting points to make (especially Bob Shaw, Joe "Spanky" McFarland,
and Steven Ellis), I have found that the
person who best addresses the issues that I care about -- safe
but effective performance -- is Dr. Mike Marshall.
Dr. Mike Marshall is a former
major-league pitcher (14 seasons) and Cy Young winner who also has a PhD in
Kinesiology. He has spent the past 30 years figuring out why and how
pitchers get injured and coming up with ideas that will reduce the
likelihood that pitchers will be injured.
Because Dr. Marshall, like many
extremely smart people, sometimes has a hard time explaining his
ideas to ordinary people, I have put
together a number of tools to help people...
