"Put the right pitching mechanics together with good health, and there's nothing surprising about lasting a long time."
Nolan Ryan
"Nolan knows he has perfect mechanics. It makes no difference that he doesn't understand the mechanics. He lucked into throwing the ball right. It came naturally to him."
Dr. Mike Marshall, former Major League pitcher
Without proper pitching mechanics a pitcher will fail to meet his full throwing potential; he won’t know what he could have truly become.
Dan Gazaway
"Tom, I throw harder when I lift my leg higher. Go put that in your computer!"

I can control the pitches I make, how I handle my mechanics, how I
control my frame of mind. That’s what benefited me most. I can’t
control what happens outside of my pitching.
