Am I wrong or was his curve more of a classic 12-6 in the past that evolved into a slightly weirder motion (“knuckle-curve”) this year? Or was it always like that? Solid first three innings regardless. Still, I wish he had first pitch strikes more often and hung fewer sliders. The Pirates are so bad lol. Take a look at Harold's post right below yours. Some good curveballs in that compilation. A lot of them are in this article as well. https://www.soxmachine.com/2020/07/17/this-is-what-dylan-ceases-curveball-is-supposed-to-do/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I hate his tempo so much. He has to speed up his delivery. He's coming thru too fast and spinning off. He's never going to improve his command with this delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
