Hey, assuming the pitcher released the ball before her front foot hit the ground, wouldn't one expect the pitch to be slightly faster, because she would be thowing downhill? It can't take much height to have some effect on ballspeed, judging by the way a couple inches can change the balance of power between pitchers and hitters in baseball, no?
I would also think that most of the energy she lost by hefting the ball higher into the air would simply be transferred right back to the ball (as increased ballspeed)as she released it on her way back down. Just my winter musings... Nick
