I would also add my hearty endorsement to Jim's pitching video. I bought it last year and have watched it numerous times. Actually being able to see the legal and illegal moves demonstrated brings a level of understanding that words by themselves cannot convey.
I wrote an article for the paid side of the site awhile back on some of the common misconceptions that umpires have about the balk rules. If every umpire watched this video, I wouldn't have had any material to write about.
If the price seems a bit much, get a couple of guys to chip in as Bob J. suggests.
