 Baseball Discussion Group - Pitcher's Mound
I know that my son who is rehabbing his elbow, can throw but not off of a mound, and that leads me to wonder if it is the stress that is different, rather than mechanics, with the force of gravity multiplying the force of the pitch.
I agree you can start from flat ground and maybe even some from in front of the mound but if you are going to throw a lot from the ground I would do a lot of it from 70-75 ft (if you're on the big field) and throw through the catcher.
Throwing from behind the mound is especially good for working on a change up because for the ball to reach the catcher you have to use your full motion and this is what makes a change effective.

It appears that the mound and the political authority that it suggests, was grafted on to the existing community.
This structure, and the mound stage on which it was built, as well as the two stages which followed, represent yet another political system that drew this village into its orbit, perhaps by reoccupying a Mississippian village that had been abandoned.
These suggest that both mounds date from about 350 to 200 B.C. This report includes a reconstruction of activities at Kirk and Newman as these relate to other local sites, and particularly to the Niebertsite which is located in close proximity to the two mounds.
