Jeff, thanks. Sorry, busy weekend but just quickly looked at a couple of videos. I just want to know if that is a whiffleball or a baseball Tanaka is throwing. Amazing amount of spin on both sides of the ball. Some pitches look like they were filmed during an earthquake with the movement. I watched another video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Acu_tWYNNpA) that gives shots from center field. The offspeed pitches making his fastball very effective. Deception? Thumbs up. Not overpowering. But obviously effective.
A totally different style. We get so used to watching the pure fundamentals on the pro golf tour but I would never want a Jim Furyk or Miller Barber to be someone who they are not. Tanaka has multiple funky things like his Arnold Palmer knocked knees to the crazy hand position. But he repeats them. And that is key.
Can he repeat that here? I don't see why not. I have appreciated your thoughts.
He is listed at 205? Do his shoes weigh 40 lbs?
