"To anybody involved with the biomechanical analysis of pitching, it's difficult to imagine a world without it. To anybody even half interested in baseball, it's also difficult to understand why it's not more accepted at the sport's highest levels."
A comparison of Greg Maddux mechanics versus Stephen Strasburg. Near perfect versus Near disaster. Paul Reddick, whose work I am a fan of, was a sources for this article. I understand that Dr. Mike Marshall was also a valuable resource for the article(s) as well.
