Alright folks, let me tell you about my deep dive into analyzing JJ McCarthy’s pitch. I watched a ton of his game film, like hours and hours. Not just highlights, but the full games. Had to really get a feel for his mechanics, his decision-making, the whole shebang.
First thing I did was break down his footwork. I mean, you gotta start somewhere, right? I was looking at how his feet lined up, how he transferred weight, all that jazz. I even slowed down the footage to like, 0.25x speed sometimes! Noticed he’s generally got a pretty solid base, but there were a few times where he got a little sloppy when he was under pressure.
Next, I moved onto his throwing motion. This is where it got interesting. I paid close attention to his arm angle, his release point, and how he followed through. What I found was that his release point was pretty consistent, which is good. But sometimes his arm angle would drop a bit, especially when he was throwing on the run. That seemed to affect his accuracy.
Then came the fun part: analyzing his actual throws. I categorized them by type: short passes, deep balls, screens, play-action passes, you name it. For each type, I tracked things like accuracy, velocity, and trajectory. I even made a little spreadsheet! What I noticed was that his deep ball accuracy was a little inconsistent. Some were dimes, others were way off. Seemed like he needed to work on his touch on those longer throws.
After that, I started focusing on his decision-making. This involved watching how he read defenses, how he reacted to pressure, and who he targeted on each play. I noticed he sometimes locked onto his primary receiver, even when other guys were open. That’s something he definitely needs to improve.
To wrap it all up, I put together a little report summarizing my findings. Basically, I said that McCarthy has a lot of potential, but he needs to work on his consistency, especially with his deep ball accuracy and his decision-making under pressure. He’s got the arm talent, he just needs to refine some things.
It was a pretty intense process, but I learned a ton. It’s one thing to watch a game as a fan, it’s another thing entirely to break it down like this. Really gives you a different perspective.
So, that’s my experience breaking down JJ McCarthy’s pitch. Hope you found it interesting!
