Here's the final entry in my Texas Rangers prospects video series:
Texas Rangers Prospects: Robbie Ross and Joseph Ortiz
I also made a couple of changes to my site's appearance. A couple of excerpts are included below.
Robbie Ross:
Out of the wind-up, Ross has a very high leg kick, reminiscent of Nolan Ryan's leg kick. After the kick, he starts to drift forward before sitting down on his back leg. This loads the leg very well, but it also lowers his potential release point.
Joseph Ortiz:
Ortiz's arm also wraps slightly across his body, but with a more alarming recoil. Ortiz's arm appears to collide with his rib cage after the throw. The collision doesn't appear to be terribly violent, but the leverage caused by the impact can place extra stress on the posterior capsule of the shoulder where the muscles are already contracting to help decelerate the arm.
