Nothing works without the physical
Tweak this, adjust that, move your hands to here, try this new arm slot, it’s all just words if you don’t have the strength and athleticism to make it REPEATABLE- AND perform it at HIGH outputs
I’ve seen good swings and good deliveries that sat the bench in college
And I’ve seen “flawed” deliveries and “bad” swings make MLB
Funny how all the “swing adjustments” and “mechanics tweaks” seem to work really well on guys who are tall/strong/athletic, and not so much on guys that are short/weak/slow
What most are missing is not yet another bullpen or hitting lesson, but the physical capacity to make the lessons they’re being taught, actually WORK!
