Bubic, is a major league pitcher, has potential to win 15 games in a season. Please, look at the current picture on web sites of his pitching motion. Notice the land foot is 4" to 6" outside the pitching rubber on the 1st base side. And in a video of Bubic his left hand(drop hand) is going past his hip. Mechanics: Bubic motion goes to 1st base side with land foot and then the pitching arm is going in a circular direction. Pretend you are on the pitchers mound, have your land foot go 4" to 6" out side the rubber and then swing your pitching arm 4" to 6" behind your hip to the 3rd base side. The reason why they have instructed this is the Royals are trying to create deception and this has "killed" his ability to locate his pitches. Also, the Royals want him to establish the FB, and in the present pitching form Bubic cannot locate the FB and is a "Fat Pitch" when Bubic throws a strike. I cannot recall the exact time the Royals sent Bubic back to the minors and Bubic worked on his motion(today) this is not the same pitching motion. Also, Bubic lead pitch was his breaking ball and was effective. Bubic is a potential 15 game winner. recommendation: send him down and get the pitching motion corrected. Bubic must pitch backward: lead-establish with curve or change and not FB. Again, pretend you are Bubic and his motion, have your land foot go 4" to 6" on the first base side, left hand(drop) hand got 4" to 6" toward 3rd base side and then bring the ball forward. BUBIC YOU ARE A 15 GAME WINNER!!!! Ben Wierzbicki
Mr. L, why has the cutter faded from prominence. Seems like just yesterday it was the "It" pitch?
