Dexter Fowler
Hey guys, I'm not a Rockies fan, but I thought you would be interested in this piece on Dexter Fowler. The article allows you to get a feel for the mechanics of his swing from both sides of the plate.
Already a great defensive player, and already possessing great plate discipline, his power was really the only question mark and that seems to have been answered this year. I am still trying to find video on him from this year because his swing from last year (especially from the right side) were not conducive to hitting for power.
Dexter Fowler vs. Tyler Colvin
You guys should be excited about the prospects of him patrolling center field for years to come.
Also, I'm sure you guys are aware Franklin Morales was sent down to AAA tonight. Tomorrow I am publishing an article on his struggles and I'll say this:
His loss of velocity is solely mechanics based and his loss of control is based on overthinking his new mechanics that are supposed to improve his control. I hope that makes sense.
I have video of him from last year and this year and the differences are clear in my opinion.

Thanks for the excellent breakdown
I am very excited about Fowler. 2009 should be an exciting season to watch with his debut.

thanks.
I put up a Franklin Morales article today that goes a long way toward explaining his problems as I mentioned in the opening post. I’m curious if you or anybody else has players in the Rocky organization they would like to learn more about in terms of the overall mechanics/stuff a player has, so let me know.

thanks for kind words
My hope is that they get him back to what he was doing last year. The lack of oomph on his stuff this year really stood out to me. He needs to stop overthinking, stop slowing himself down. Less think, more throw.

Nice reads
Read both articles a couple of days ago but didn’t notice this post.
Both are worth reading.
