I’m gonna sound like a shill but we were world beaters a few days ago, ran into some good pitching on the road and came back down to earth a bit (which happens over 162), and now the sky is falling in the comments 😂 we good (if pen isn’t fixed after the deadline, then panic)

I asked Carlos Rodon about his evolution from a fastball-slider pitcher into a more crafty one.
Here’s what the #Yankees left-hander had to say;

@Flaxiomus @Yankees @BryanHoch @StarrCompanies The martian’s AAA analytics are insane and vs Leiter who gives up a lot of hard hit balls I’d say anytime HR ain’t a bad bet buddy

@rationalyankee Lat injury is the last thing you ever wanna see for someone in your rotation, rarely does the body ever gain that trust back

The youth angle cuts both ways. Gil’s lat strain basically ruined him. It’s likely fixable, but not soon and not at the MLB level.
Young arms recover faster from acute injuries. They also entrench compensation patterns when they pitch through subtle dysfunction, especially guys like Gil whose mechanics were always volatile. A 12.7% career walk rate isn’t a guy with surplus repeatability to give up. Take a delivery already living on the edge of feel, subtract four months of reps, add a healing lat, and you get exactly what we’re seeing.
My best guess is that his lat healed structurally but the delivery rebuilt itself around protecting it. Arm slot dropped, stride shortened, release got inconsistent, and now he’s stuck in a compensation loop that’s costing him 2-5mph and his command. All these trends have been measured and verified with Gil.
This is fixable. It’s not a UCL or labrum. But it’s a complete delivery rebuild, not a reps issue. Triple-A is the right environment for that work.
Whether 2024 Gil ever shows up again depends on whether they can get the lat to trust full extension and rebuild the mechanics on top of it without the body re-protecting itself the second something feels off.

@rationalyankee I just don't understand how a kid in his 20s loses 5 mph on his fb went from throwing 98mph to 93

@Thavmeister Seemed like last night the runner on 2nd base was giving signs when he was throwing his change up. If you go back and watch he was throwing his left arm up multiple times before changeups
