Followup: Jim Hickey Explains Evolution Of Price’s Windup

During last night’s game, Dave Wills and Andy Freed brought up the evolution of David Price’s windup, something we wrote about yesterday. They spoke with Jim Hickey before the game and asked him about the changes…

So Hickey confirms some of our speculations (adjustments, minimizing movement) but doesn’t think that it has caused the loss of Price’s dominating slider. And even if the changes did affect the slider, the changes may still have a net positive impact on his overall game. Meaning that the benefits to the other aspects of his game outweigh any damage it may have caused to his slider.
