Pitch ID

I'm looking for charts, images, anything really to make it easier to ID pitches when watching games. Yes they will usually tell you (SNY doesn't) but I still want to know what they look like, each of them. Anyone know where I can find that kind of info. The only images I can find give the perspective of the batter and I'm trying to have them from the defensive perspective. Thanks for any help w this....

Help with elbow/arm slot

My 14yr old/ 6’3 guy is struggling with his arm/shoulder/scapula this year. We’ve been to physio, he’s been doing a lot of bands/ball work and some weights (as prescribed by physio), I’m trying to get him to do pull ups every day.

My biggest concern which I suspect is causing his issues (which is currently pain under his scap, along with command issues) is the height of his elbow at layback.

We have some obvious issues with shoulder tilt and front elbow height on his drive, but what is really concerning is the way his elbow goes to the sky the moment he starts his upper body rotation.

I’ve tried everything I can think of, and I haven’t been able to find a solution for him.

So, pitching coaches - what drills and teaches can you suggest to get that elbow into a safer, more level location with more of a 90 degree elbow at layback? Or am I missing the point completely?

Just want the kid to be healthy, confident and having fun, not looking for him to throw 75 yet.

16 year old with no pitching experience

I’m questioning if it’s still possible that i’d be a good pitcher for my schools baseball team even if i barely have ever pitched before, for reference my schools baseball team desperately needs players and i love the idea of pitching but i don’t know if it’s too late to start working on it, is there any chance that even if i start late i can still be good in a couple years?
