witesoxfan Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Just an article from deadspin with cool pics. I just wanted to post this because how how eerily similar Sale looks in this photo to Randy Johnson. http://deadspin.com/chris-sale-does-not-ha...phys-1634834496 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 No comments? Wtf! Some of those pics make me think Sale is a contortionist. I think his lanky body is why he can do what he does, or part the reason anyway. Very good read, thanks Wite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The slo mo video of a pitchers arm has always been gross to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the thing that jumps out at me looking at those pics. When you look closely at his arm, you can see the ligaments and tendons just bulging out out his arms.

soxfan-kwman Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Strength + Flexibility = Velocity Mark Prior was on steroids & that is how a guy with perfect mechanics breaks down. Too much strength, you lose flexibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much strength, you lose flexibility. Mark Prior didn't have perfect mechanics. In fact, he had the opposite of that. http://www.chrisoleary.com/projects/Pitchi...gMechanics.html He had a easy-to-repeat motion, which is why I think people said he had good mechanics. However, he had an awful timing issue that put a lot of stress on his arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are just others who disagree with their version. I happen to be one of them. Edit: I also don't think he was on PEDs.
