I read a book by a football player (don't remember who) but he said it was harder after he retired to stop eating as much because he was so used to doing so to keep weight on.

Why is this not an illegal pitch delivery, even with charitable 'drag the toe = still on the rubber' parameters he's clearly taking the foot off the mound and hopping forward https://twitter.com/Padres/status/831917274227281920

I feel like that second hop is gonna get the hammer dropped on him this year. Also how in the gently caress is it physically possible to throw in the high 90s like that. (I'm so loving happy that nothing became of the rumors about him and the Yankees.)

That's a clown balk, bro. edit: really now both his feet go airborne and you can tell because the toes of his back foot pivots dramatically for a guy in cleats and his pants leg reacts as he hits the ground. Craptacular! fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Feb 17, 2017 |

It's too late for me to actually do the math but considering he's effectively throwing from 57-58 feet from the plate after that jump, the perceived velocity on those pitches has to be bonkers. Especially since he's still somehow hitting the low 90's.

They could change the rule but he's not technically doing anything wrong according to the rules. http://www.espn.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/56955/carter-capps-delivery-is-strange-and-apparently-legal The thing he was called out on in AAA was for over-elevating in his delivery (too much hop). I think he's changed that to more of a slide motion.

Your Taint posted:Ok so under that rule he could theoretically hop a few more times and deliver the pitch from the grass and it would be ok. He never lands his left foot until he throws and stays within the normal range of a "delivery" while he's moving toward the plate. I think that's how he stays within the rules for most umpires - it's like a variation on a foot drag. It would be tremendously difficult to do anymore than what Capps does, I think. Of course, if there was a sudden flood of pitchers delivering like this and it clearly affected the game, I'm sure they'd clarify the rules like they did for ambidexterity pitchers. My real opinion is that the delivery is allowable even though it's as close to illegal as you can get. What umpires should watch for, imo, is the height of his hop and to make sure the right foot always lands before the left. I wouldn't like it if half the relievers in baseball started doing this. tadashi fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Feb 17, 2017 |

it seems like a dumb delivery anyway. his back foot is not planted enough to provide a lot of force into the ball. he'd probably be throwing in the 100s with a more traditional delivery.

Soon we will have pitchers with a deliveries like cricket bowlers, sprinting to home plate and then throwing from 20ft away We need to stop this before it gets out of hand

Carter Capps and Jordan Walden both do that whole "jump 1 foot closer to the plate" thing on their deliveries and have been cleared by MLB to do that because they do it every time and thus its not deceiving the batter or runners. If anyone else wants to try and jump even further forward (while beginning on the rubber) and do so every time, go for it. Walden throws (or used to anyways) 100 and Capps throws pretty hard too I think? There was a study about "effective velocity" and because of his delivery mechanics putting him closer to the plate, he ends up throwing harder than Chapman.

Apparently Yordano Ventura's Toxicology report won't be made public according to Dominican Officials, which could lead to some interesting issues regarding the Royals paying out the remainder of his contract to his estate or not.

This string of active MLB players dying is really a bummer, since 2006 there have been 8 players who have died while having an active MLB career. That's kind of nuts.

Perceived velocity is cool because, people always say such and such pitcher has a deceptive fastball, his fastball gets on you quick, etc., and now there's numbers and stuff to prove it.
