How Stephen Tarpley is Following the Successful Adjustment He Made With the Orioles - Posted by Tim Williams
I talked with Tarpley after the outing, discussing what he has been working on with the Pirates. He’s still in the “no touch” phase of things, where the Pirates watch and evaluate his stuff. However, Tarpley will be approaching the pitching coaches soon to get some advice on his mechanics.
The specific thing he wants to work on is staying back, and being consistent with his delivery. That was an issue in the past for Tarpley, and he made some improvements after switching to a three-quarters arm slot. He’s hoping to get back to that success and those mechanics from the second half of last year, in order to start off strong this season.
Check out the video- by clicking the picture above for Tarpley explaining what he needs to work on with his mechanics, along with some video of his outing, including a three pitch strikeout to end his day.
