    I love Al and I think Jack is a great kid. He has had all the advantages up to this point with the best training,analytics,rhapsodo machines,high speed cameras in 7th grade. Now with everthing equal we will see if he continues to improve and fulfill his promise. Hopefully he has a long and succesful career. His body type though does not lend itself to a power pitcher that can last over 10-12 seasons. Scherzer 6-3,Cole 6-4, Kershaw 6-4,Verlander 6-5, all much bigger guys

    I dont like the way Leiter falls off the mound. A great one- Bob Gibson did it - but its rare that they do well . Its hard on the arm to not drive directly to the plate. Jordan Zimmerman is a classic example of his arm and velocity negatively impacted from this poor balance. Also, the pitcher is not in a good fielding position, which is bad for fielding and dangerous to a lineshot comebacker.

    • @edwardrossman9448
      @edwardrossman9448 2 роки тому +4

      @@spectac1 BS. Some are worse than others. Leiter is bad in this way like Zimmerman. They even both do a hop after landing to try and gain some semblance of body control. To say 95% of pitchers fall to the side after delivery is stupid as hell. And funny how Maddux, Clemens and Ryan had insane careers with crazy longevity by driving to the target with their legs and finishing balanced. The balance takes stress off the arm. If thats a little league coach saying that its a really good one.
