Angel opens-up Season Eight, Episode One, with guest Head Coach Larry Owens from Bellarmine University.
Larry had a question about the pitching motion, specifically, the common flaw of lifting the rear leg off the mound early in the motion, so much so, that it looks like the pitcher is pitching on one leg.
Angel goes into depth about not only the role of the rear leg, but the effect lifting the leg has on rotation and arm mechanics.
