Found this while reading about the retirement of a Rays player. Thought some on here might find it interesting.

    Is the PAS elbow the elbow on the throwing arm, or on the off arm? I couldn't figure that out.

    Thank you for the link-- that was a great read, and a firm reminder about how very little I know about the mechanics of baseball.

    Very interesting. I always thought that Mark Prior and Anthony Reyes had similar pitching motions. Now, I now why.

    I feel both smarter and stupider (or is it more stupid?) after reading that.

    PAS = Pitching Arm Side

    That's what I thought-- but if the PAS refers to the pitching arm then Marmol's elbow is clearly above his shoulders; in fact, I don't think it's even close. His off-shoulder, however, is not (whereas Prior's, Smoltz's, etc. is).
