I thought he was hurt, but read an article about returning players next year, and it mentioned he never pitched this year because he couldn’t “rediscover his mechanics.”

Yips. It sucks for the guy, because he actually did something for the team besides post on a message board.

The answer has been posted here several times with linked articles, but I'll paraphrase.

Following his surgery, his body literally forgot how to pitch. He got an evidently incurable case of the yips.

Good one. Unfortunately for the rest of the pitching staff, Dunn isn't done yet.

Advocate

Gilbert lost mechanics after shoulder surgery
He worked with Dunn all season trying to get back on the mound

Yips does not equal losing mechanics

Pretty shitty take

That is a completely different Latz.

That is the Kent State Latz. The LSU Latz is going pretty good as well though.

I don't know if you're trying to make a shitty joke or not, but it's not a different Latz. It's the one that was here.
