Funny how that sounds, but you can't say that about fast pitch softball pitchers. Whether they use windmill, the whip, etc., these gals AND guys can bring it...seemingly with ease. That's not surprising seeing that throwing underhand is the most natural way of throwing due to the way the human body is built which allows for a better range of motion, and throwing overhand is really not a natural movement at all due to a limited range of motion... despite it being possible to learn.
Overhand pitchers haven't had a 'hazardous to your arm health' warning label attached to them yet, but IF the percentage of injured MLB starters during a season keeps rising (currently at 50%), expect to see an influx of submarine style pitchers in big league uniforms in the future.

Submarine style...the healthier choice. Subway, are you listening?
ReplyDeleteResearch based studies conclude: humans have more range of motion in that movement.
