The San Francisco Giants' reliever Ryan Walker has faced challenges early in the season, but adjustments to his mechanics have led to improvement. Initially, Walker struggled with control, resulting in a high earned run rate and walks. However, he identified issues with his stance and rotation, which he modified, leading to a more effective performance. In his last two appearances, he has shown better control, allowing him to secure wins while minimizing pitches thrown.
The season has not started the way Ryan Walker envisioned, but there's reason to believe his fortunes are turning. He's turning less and being on time is crucial.
Just being crossbody, being on time is even more crucial. The slightest bit of over-rotation can really throw it off.
I felt like I was back to myself again. The two appearances since have been Walker's most effective of the season, requiring only seven pitches to retire the Athletics.
My (landing) leg was further out and my torso was more rotated toward the plate. We just kind of nixed that and just mimicked.
