He's the hardest worker I've ever seen, position player or pitcher. He's always giving it a little extra, whether it's running, work in the weight room, whatever he needs to do.

It's hard to tell off one session, but he looks a lot better. It usually takes him a couple mound sessions to get his mechanics straight.

We worked on some very small things. We just went back to basics, worked on getting the ball down, better fastball command, fastballs down and away.

His stuff is as good as I've ever seen from him.

Less is more with him.

I believe it does take tall pitchers longer to put it together. Look at Johnson. It took him a few extra years. The parts that go into the mechanics of a delivery are longer. It just seems to take a tall pitcher longer to get to that point where they can repeat their delivery.
