But if he's throwing his fastball more, then I think he has more success.

Yeah, Sandy 6'5", and then you have Erie at 6'8".

I'm 6'6", so I know, you know, I was always a big mechanical guy when I played because taller pitchers always have a harder time repeating their mechanics.

And it's something that you have to work on constantly, playing catch on the side, you know, just to get that rhythm and get that memory into how to break your hands when you should, stay over the rubber.

You know, with Uri, you know, he watches Sandy with everything that, you know, every step.

And it's great to see, you know, because you can learn a lot from Sandy Alcantara.

With Uri, it's just mechanical.

He's got such great stuff.

He's got a really good fastball.

And at 6'8", he has a hard time repeating his mechanics.

And at 23, so there's two knocks.

You know, you're a young pitcher trying to learn the game, and you're learning at the big league level.

And then you're 6'8", which is, you know, you don't see too many tall pitchers around the league anyway.

So you're already trying.

You already have two knocks against you that you have to always constantly, you know, practice.

But, you know...

Everything that goes wrong with him, it's always mechanical.

It's not the stuff.

It's just him maybe falling off the mound too much, not staying back, drifting a little bit, and then all of a sudden you see the fastball out over or he gets underneath his breaking stuff.

But if he could ever put it all together, and I'm sure it will happen at one point when he gets a little older and gets a little more experience, he's going to be nasty.
