Only recently have I come to appreciate the pitching mechanics of Randy Johnson.

To a large degree, this appreciation grew out of extensive study of the clip above of Randy Johnson. Notice how, ala Greg Maddux, after he breaks his hands Randy Johnson's Pitching Arm Side (aka PAS) elbow never gets above the level of his shoulders.

Notice how Randy Johnson's PAS forearm is
vertical but his PAS elbow is roughly 6 inches below
the level of his shoulders in the photo above.
