They may lower the leg kick but it’s mainly his timing mechanism. I think Elias saw something more in his swing path that is keeping him from hitting high fastballs. Teams attack Mike Trout the same way. -

True, but look at the video I posted from last winter. His leg kick was much lower. -

Paul Sewald suffered a grade 2 oblique strain late in spring training, but he deserves the extra rest after last October. If he looks himself when he gets back and ARZ does indeed fall out, that's another top tier name. -

What is odd is if you watch this video from 5 months ago in a home run derby against his brother and dad, he barely lifted his leg at all. And he was jacking them....granted it was against a pitching machine. I wonder what made him change before this season? youtube -

I think the truth, as is with most things, is somewhere in the middle. He doesn't need to "overhaul" anything. He's also got to work on a few things. Now, what those few things are, none of us know right now. Ben McDonald makes one comment about his leg kick and everyone here seems to have taken it as gospel. I'm sure we'll learn after he comes back up and plays well. But the rampant speculation about the leg kick being the thing that held him back in the majors is silly. It might be true in the end, but right now some of you guys would believe that Mark Teixiera was at a Ravens game.
