Does throwing a jav relate to throwing a football or baseball. Well the arm motion might be the same, but the way you release it and the release point is different. When I pitched I had a 3/4 delivery, but when football season came up I had to change my entire motion and reteach myself every summer to do over arm for football. Maybe pop your hips more, like a boxer does when he delivers a punch. Thats what I do to give me my extra umph in deep balls and throwing those 20 yard outs.

Its probably closer to a football toss than baseball, although still very different, you do a reverse C position, where you flex your whole body almost like a leaf spring and your front leg stays stiff as you throw over it. The motion is almost a straight arm over the head instead of a throw.
