Perez

Great article from today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Oliver Perez, one of my favorite young pitchers. The picture that accompanies the article is an absolute classic. It shows his delivery in a way I've never seen before, very illustrative despite being static. I'd love to see a similar picture for many more pitchers. I love how his arm pops up, how his 90/90 looks solid, the quick hip turn, and how he keeps his forearm medial to vertical through the delivery. Good stuff and one of the reasons he's so good. It's also a big boost to Spin Williams, talking about the towel drill, Law's Rule, and other great stuff. I don't really have much of a sense of Williams as a coach, but this is the best stuff I've seen on almost any coach in a while.

In the first image, his pinky is tucked in like he's throwing a fastball. In the third one, his pinky looks like it's sticking out, like he's throwing a circle change. It's kinda blurry, so I may be seeing that wrong, though.
