Le lanceur doit éliminer de son élan tous les gestes inutiles. [...] De plus, un élan de base simple signifie moins de dépense d'énergie. En 1956, alors que Don Larsen passait à l'histoire du base-ball en réussissant un match parfait pendant une série mondiale, les observateurs ont constaté qu'il ne prenait pratiquement pas d'élan avant de décocher son lancer vers le marbre. 4, record 1, French, - motion%20du%20lanceur

La motion du lanceur est également son élan. Le terme «motion» est si lié au lanceur que les commentateurs disent souvent : «X fait sa motion [...] Prise, décision de l'arbitre.» Cependant, il vaut mieux rendre «swing» par «élan» et «pitching swing» ou «pitching motion» par «motion (du lanceur)». 5, record 1, French, - motion%20du%20lanceur
