He has had a short arm action for a while now. So it's laughable for this comment and the others talking about changing the arm slot. This was the same thing he did when he had his resurgent year. So besides the fact that it hurts your mechanical sensibilities, it has nothing to do with his struggles this year. If he massively bulked up and doesn't pay attention to his mobility and flexibility, then yes, that can cause all sorts of issues with his ability to drive through and get everything behind the ball. Injury is another possibility. The sticky stuff could affect his spin rate. Another thing is not staying behind the ball and driving through it. Cutting it or having a crazy arm side run can also decrease spin rate. That would be easy to see and would be something identified pretty quickly. They have every technological toy in the tool shed to analyze this and to help fix it. If it's an injury or a change in flexibility, then no tool can help that.

This is clowning at this point. This is like younger travel teams where the kid just keeps running to second because they are fundamentally bad. -

Same man has 1st basemen playing RF, a Catcher playing 1st to keep his "checks notes" bat in the lineup at least once a week, and that chaos angel out in LF. It's a beer league defense. -

Most HS OFers catch that. Hell 70% of the Frosh team OFers catch that. -

Colas has played in a pro league before. Bringing him up makes sense.
