    BP Article, Rick Peterson and release points.

    Rick Peterson might be the master at subtle fixes. Peterson is possibly the closest thing breathing to a modernistic pitching coach. He dabbles in left-brain, right-brain psychology and deals in biomechanics. Oh, and he leaves you feeling like a primate when it comes to observing pitchers. That?s because Peterson has a reputation for altering the most obvious thing about a pitcher and having it work without anyone noticing. Take one of Peterson?s recent pupils, John Axford. Five years before the mustachioed closer received votes for the Cy Young and Most Valuable Player awards, he was an undrafted collegiate arm.

    Is RP actually working with our guys right now or is he down in a computer lab concocting a formula that will help down the road?

    I am sure but we would need a graphic of some sort to show release points this compared to years past. Perhaps some scout posters can identify it if they see video this year compared to last year.
