By my calculations, our starting pitcher's combined stats this spring:

ERA: 1.93
WHIP: 1.04

I don't care if those numbers don't count. That's pretty friggin' impressive.

Try watching it and imagining "Moon River" playing in the background.

The time it takes to get the ball loaded up is about the same time it takes to position your feet in a proper throwing motion. In most cases, you don't really release the ball any faster throwing from the knees, because you still have to load the ball up to your ear which takes time.

Um, OK, do me a favor, get a baseball and throw to a certain spot standing up as hard as you can, then throw from your knees and try to hit the same spot with the same velocity... that and do it with the pressure of a basestealer.
Give the kid some respect here, the reason he does it is because his hand speed is probably tops in the league... he actually DOES get a benefit from it.
