I don't even want to know what the Phillies ballgirls would look like if they included them in game lol

I was never in the camp that posted about how pitchers "didn't seem like they showed much power in their pitches," but after looking at that gif I have something to comment about (keep in mind I didn't look back at any pitching mechanics in the video itself). The only reason I even thought about it is because I'm fresh off hosting a youth softball clinic on Saturday and we went over throwing mechanics.

Pitchers and players don't really seem to be using their front side. By that, I mean their "glove hand side." If anybody knows anything about throwing, more often than not the glove hand will lead the throwing plane, but upon throwing the ball it will pull and tuck in, almost into chicken-wing form. This speeds up the entire body because everything is closer to your rotational axis (which is neither horizontal nor vertical, but somewhat "diagonal" since your throw comes from one side of your body and down to the other).

Here's just but one real life example:



Yet in the game, when the front side gets what I call "lazy," it does diminish the look of the power of the pitch.

Curious as to who did the mo-cap sessions on those ones is all, because I would not expect that look to come to be if somebody was giving max strength on a pitch or throw (or anything close to it). Just my observation.

That's a lot of thought, for really not have had thought about it, lmao!

I didn't like in '15 when you hit a deep ball down the line that you thought could be out, the camera just instead stayed behind the batter, essentially showing you it was going to be foul instead of tracking the ball. I hope that goes back to tracking the ball instead. Otherwise, my goodness. IK is going to make it look smoother, love the out of place stuff, and all of the new animations. That's all impressive. LOVE seeing the outside the stadium stuff too, and love that things move now. Can't wait to hear more on that.

I totally agree about missing the " foul ball camera " !!!! I loved watching tracking a foul ball but they removed that feature last year. We need more votes for this !!!! Does anyone know if it's returning this year ???
