    substitute infront.

    Imagine if you will proper swinging. Proper swinging is rotational you generate good power by starting with your lower body and your bat following it's lead. Obviously much more complex than that. Same thing with pitching. When your arm is further along or equal in rotation to your body you're in trouble.

    You're in trouble because its a physical impossibility.

    No it isn't. I mean being totally in front pulling your body it is because it defies physics but being infront in baseball terms means that you're more or less pushing the ball or whipping the ball in a way you shouldn't. Hard to tell which from a still.

    There's a catch word I'm missing for what coaches call it that teaches this behavior, it's not coming to me but basically a kid is not letting his arm naturally go through cause of some reason or another so he rushes his arm causing extra exertion.

    Snapping the ball is the term you're looking for.
