How to do Delayed Arm Rotation

Now Delayed Arm Rotation. This one drives umpires nuts. Done correctly totally legal. What you have to watch out for is to make sure your pitchers do not stop and then they do not reverse. If they do those two things it is, in fact, illegal, and I can't defend you.

What we are doing is putting the slow part in the middle. On a normal changeup, let's say a palm or shove changeup, we go fast and slow up at the end. No one has any problem with that. We are taking the slow and putting it in the middle.

You are going to watch Kacy go fast then go slow and then go fast again, delayed arm rotation. Very good. Most kids go too fast and they don't fool anyone except themselves, so make sure you can see a definite slow part of the arm circle. Slow and then fast, we can do changeups off of these also. Let's do a delayed changeup. That's fast-slow-fast-slow by all the way.

Fast-slow-fast-slow, you will see on that when she stops so there the case of one of your illegal ones, keep moving this down, slow and slow. Who were this fool? The running slappers, it's really going to mess up the timing of the slappers and we also hope to pull runners off base. You go slow and off. If they are paying real close attention, they will hold but if they are not and they are doing your normal timing, the runners can be pulled off base before we have released the ball, delayed arm rotation.
