When I evaluate a pitcher, I’m not looking at everything at once. I’m looking for three non-negotiable checkpoints that tell me whether the delivery is repeatable, efficient, and sustainable over time. In this lesson, I walk through: - The 3 checkpoints I assess first - Why these positions matter more than isolated drills - How missing just one can limit velocity, command, or arm health Use this as a self-check or reference point as you train. Clean mechanics start with clarity. 📌 Watch closely — small details here make a big difference.

Soreness is common. Sharp pain isn’t. If your kid says ‘it pinches’ or ‘pops,’ stop and evaluate. Have you dealt with arm pain this year?

Quick arm care: 2 minutes band work + 2 minutes scap work = huge payoff. Do you have a consistent warmup routine right now?
