Bay Area World Series Underclass Pitching notes: Stretch only. High front leg kick with high glove side having small rock at top of lift. Fluid and full swing to H-3/4; got the front side into the ground well with some crossfire and still more available from backside drive. FB mainly armside with ability to extend plate, go up and have angle that way. FB up got swings. CB overhand 12/6 with late drop; long and fluid pitch. Simple and repeatable actions and FB could tie up hitters, attacing with it. FB 72-76 / CB 59-60
