Tyler Rogers is the only MLB pitcher with an average release height under two feet. The focus of my off-season training has been lowering my own release point from roughly three feet to Rogers-range, but twelve years using the same slot has grooved an extremely deep attractor well. Early in the off-season, @Crider_HP programmed variable slot and implement work to destabilize my old angle and open up different solutions within my movement landscape. More recently, I’ve built familiarity with my desired slot by constraining start positions at/below the goal, adding rhythm to access the new angle dynamically, and then using variability/representative context to stabilize the pattern. My recent bullpen average? 1.8 feet. Good training, as they say.
