I don't see why he can't get it under control.

I just worry if this is going to be an indefinite thing or if this is something he can work through in say half a season to a full season Daniel Burchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04212584396848733519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-40368872064714638262014-05-03T19:18:28.389-04:002014-05-03T19:18:28.389-04:00Daniel...

I think it may have a bit to do with the bigger ball. If one puts their fingers on the seams of the ball for a fastball...try it with a softball...you are throwing with your finger tips(+) and thumb. Trying to throw with your fingers is different with the larger ball, if they slip a bit...the ball goes higher than was planed right? Back in the day when I got the ball up in the Zone it was because of my hand...most of the time, some will say it is because ones shoulder leads the arm forcing the ball up.<br />I guess it is a, pick whichever one fits the case at hand! Because they are both right!Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-41980516166539663982014-05-03T18:06:49.418-04:002014-05-03T18:06:49.418-04:00Just needs to keep the ball down.
