Image Sequences

12/28/2007

It's much easier, and more accurate, to study a pitcher's mechanics by going frame by frame through video clips of them pitching. As a result, I have collected a number of images sequences of pitchers who I think have good, problematic, and poor mechanics.

Pitchers With Good Mechanics

     - Roger Clemens
     - Dan Haren
     - Randy Johnson
     - Greg Maddux
          - CF View (1997)
          - CF View (1997)
          - 3B View (High School)
     - Mariano Rivera
     - Nolan Ryan
     - Jeff Suppan

Pitchers With Problematic Mechanics
These are pitchers whose pitching mechanics place them at a greater risk of experiencing serious shoulder and/or elbow problems.

     - Adam Wainwright

Pitchers With Poor Mechanics
These are pitchers whose injury problems are due to their poor pitching mechanics.

     - Chris Carpenter (2006)
     - Mark Prior
