Sonny Gray

One of my favorite guys to watch

Got to see him go through his plyo progression yesterday:

-Ten Toes
-some variation of a hop in (forward and backward hops?)
-“balance point” or as @dhayes422 coined it the Darvish Drill

6 innings, 7 punchies

Take notes.

When I pitch badly, it's usually because I go to the target too early.

If you rush forward at the start of your delivery, you run away from your back side. Then you don't have anything left on your back side when you need it.

I use 3 cues to fix this.

1. Relax and go slow in the beginning. Trust that the power is going to be there at the end. You don't have to force it early.

2. Elevate your glove side. Sometimes I think about taking my glove straight up into the sky. It doesn't actually end up that high, but thinking about it helps me stay back a little bit.

3. Keep your head over your back foot. Don't lean backwards. As you move forward, let your head stay over your back side instead of diving at the target.

I have this same problem. I look at the target and want to go get it. When I'm good, I stay back, and then everything lines up.
