Teaching Mechanics: In teaching the proper mechanics of throwing, pitching, hitting and fielding, we devise drills for our players that break down the various components of a skill; to help them understand the proper feel of each component of the skill.  This is important, and beneficial.  At the same time, we need to make sure that we don't turn our players into "choppy" movement players.  We want fluid and athletic movements.  We must also have drills for our players that pull the components together, and emphasize loose and fluid movements.
