Some highlights:

Spend 15 minutes talking pitching with him and you get the sense he could go on for hours. That he could teach a semester-long course on the biomechanics of pitching deliveries and the game theory behind pitch sequences.
He'll tell you how he patterned his mechanics off of Lincecum. How he admires the way Nolan Ryan was able to decelerate his arm. How he tries to emulate Cliff Lee's ability to throw each of his pitches from the same "tunnel." How he believes his understanding of his mechanics help allay pitch-count concerns.
And he admits to some apprehension about a team drafting him and trying to change him.
"It's a concern because I really feel like that's what makes me who I am and I feel like that's the best way to get myself prepared," he said. "There are some things that I'd definitely like to keep, but there are some things that I realize in pro ball I might have to do this or do that. I haven't played pro ball yet so we'll see what works and what doesn't."

"I do a lot of study and work on how to decelerate my arm and how to throw with more of my body than just my arm," he said. "The day after I pitch, I can pitch again. My arm is never sore. If I get sore anywhere, it's through my pec (pectoral), my scap (scapula) muscles or my abs. But my arm is never sore."
