I'm not sure but from reading the interview with Balester -- he obviously has confidence with his fastball, but his command of offspeed and breaking pitches is what needs the most work. Therefore, when he speaks of working to stay on top and out in front....I think he means mechanically, rather than in the count. Staying on top of his curveball with his grip and arm action ensures that he gets good rotation and a lot of break while being able to locate it - and staying out in front refers to his extension towards the plate which also gives contributes a lot of arm action. I could be wrong, but reading those comments in the context of which he was speaking, that's just my .02. <BR/><BR/>Thank you and keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-55436752189686390602008-02-23T00:45:00.000-05:002008-02-23T00:45:00.000-05:00This is all great but Curly wants us to explain to...This is all great but Curly wants us to explain to him why exactly why he is stuck up here in this horrible weather when you guys could have easily taken him with you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
