Well put Jeff. Everyone is going to have a differen tempo from an Oswalt to a Felix. Each has to find their own as too slow is as bad as too fast. Tempo and balance are key to start. Taijuan is a stud.
It will be interesting as he ages to see if he will drive a bit more with his hip on the leg lift as Seaver above. Watch how "they" (being studs through MLB history start driving the hips right away versus the traditional "stand tall and fall." As you said, throw hard but that is best accomplished with the use of the whole body working as a unit and the legs are key.
I am looking forward to Taijuan and the lefties making it to Seattle.
Hope all is well!!
