I'm no expert in pitching mechanics, so I have a hard time truly differentiating what is important and what is circumstantial, but I think what Eisenberg points out seems reasonable. I encourage you to read ...

Looking at the new Homer Bailey. "Notice at the start of both clips within the first few frames, the 2008 Bailey is sorta hovering. There is very little up or down movement in the leg at the time . Contrast that with the 2009 Bailey…the knee is still on its way up and hasn’t even reached its maximum height. Yet, the clips are synchronized to release. The 2009 Bailey catches up with the 2008 Bailey because its body is moving faster." [Baseball Intellect] ...

Cautiously Optimistic: Homer Bailey
rotosavants.com 6/25/2009 — If you were around for some of my rants last year then you know I am not a fan of Homer Bailey.
