Crazy to think even MLB are guilty of using this suicidal phrase… Any idea what it is? Last month I was working with a pitching staff during Spring Training.

Inside this post we’re going to review the dramatic changes seen with Lucas Giolito’s arm action and how the smallest, teeniest tiniest adjustments are the ones that create the biggest changes.
