Glove Side Connection

Recently I purchased a product for our pitching staff that I had gone back and forth about, and know many other coaches who have said and done the same. The Connection Ball, coined by Ron Wolforth and the Texas Baseball Ranch made it's way into our pitchers' bag this spring. I know a few pitching coaches off the top of my head who use this faithfully and others who won't touch it. For a while I'd been on the fence, but I had been look for a physical way that our pitchers could emulate strong glove sides. I'm not going to get into the "glove pull" or "glove blocking" debate, cause I don't necessarily teach either. What we talk about in our program, are strong glove sides and good spinal stability.

FYI, spinal stability doesn't have to mean a vertical torso at ball release. Two different cases of stability, one vertical and one not so vertical:

I'd say both of these guys are pretty good...
