His struggles have all been mechanical. His delivery is very unorthodox, so he has very little room for error. He has a tendency to either fly open or stay too closed off instead of through the mitt.



Yea Fontenot has a lot of moving parts to deal with. It’s real easy for a guy like that to have mechanical breakdowns when just the slightest thing is off time.

Correct. He's herky jerky all over, which is fine bc it's deceptive. It just puts more pressure on the little things. Other guys can afford to fly open a bit or stay too closed a bit, because they're quiet otherwise.

ETA: It's actually Ty Floyd's same problem, but it's less obvious because he seems quiet and effortless. He has a little hitch that really makes it important that he stay through the mitt...otherwise you see him spike it or sail it, with no control of off speed.
