I hope that's not his normal delivery.

I've seen him do that for a couple years now in drills... someone more informed will have more insight but I suspect it's a drill to build drive towards the plate. Never seen it that pronounced thou. Crazy.

Yes, this is idiotic. Why endanger yourself?

 

No its not idiotic. Its a run and gun and lots of pitchers do this as part of velocity work. I guess we should stop outfielders from doing throws on the run as well.

Falling down afterwards?

 

Yes I have seen that as well with these. I was at a facility on Saturday night where 4 minor league guys were doing the same thing. One hit 104. He usually sits around 94. In the end you dont want to fall down with them all of the time. But it does happen. Its a max intent drill.

Yup. Dude needs some humble pie. I want him to be a bad ass but it's also already kinda hard to root for him.

 

There's a high D Bag factor there already.

 

On the pitching side of things, it's too bad locating and changing speeds seem to be secondary to lighting up the radar gun. If Buehrle was a college player now, would he even get drafted?

Seems pretty dumb to me, about the same level of stupidity as doing a back flip on live TV after being drafted but before signing a contract.
