This is part three of a three part post on observations from the 2012 World Series. 

I’m not much of a pitching guru, but it caught my eye when I saw in super slow motion during the World Series what a pitcher’s hand actually does after release of the ball. As a right-handed thrower, the hand actually turns hard to the left after release (pronation) on a fastball. Follow the link below to see what I mean with Tim Lincecum. Does your pitching coach teach this? Does he have to or is it a natural reaction? Food for thought. Consult your local pitching professional.
