1. The difference in vertical and horizontal release points between pitches is consistent with past performance (as far as I can tell, I'm no scientist).
2. At the end of 2014 his horizontal release point changes drastically
3. His horizontal release point has been sporadic this year on a game to game basis
4. His vertical release point is also sporadic, but only slightly more so than historically.
I don't look at release points that often so maybe points 2-4 is common and/or this is just a tool calibration issue or different stadiums being calibrated slightly offset from one another.
No smoking gun though. Maybe that shoulder injury back in early May is a thing that's causing a problem still?
