What causes a long striding pitcher to Crow Hop?
There are a couple of reasons: 1) The pitcher doesn’t bend her knees enough at the start of the motion. So, she HOPS to a new starting point, then BENDS her knees to throw the ball. 2) The pitcher does not ROTATE (turn) her Pivot Foot enough. She HOPS to get her body turned at the Power position, then pushes to throw the ball.
