If true, this time next year we'll be talking about stud rookies and what the Royals can get for Hochevar, Chen, and Paulino @michael.allen.engel@jim fetterolf Heard from Greg Shaum that he is hearing that the new pitching coach signals a paradigm shift for the Royals and program-training.

Comes out of the winter an absolute stud, then regresses. I have heard that Odorizzi was dialed back when he went to AA, so it is reasonable to wonder if Dwyer also was. This isn't a new trend, according to either Clint or Greg at pine tar press, Hochevar was long-tossing in college when he was throwing 98mph and his training was restricted after he signed. Athletes are creatures of habit and something that isn't broken shouldn't be fixed. I think it stretches coincidence that about every young pitcher we had regressed over the season and command and control were common issues. @michael.allen.engel I saw Monty in the futures game last year and he was the best pitcher on the field on a day that Ervin Santana started.

He performed well in rookie ball and A ball, but I think it's more that the jump from A to Double A is wider than the jump from Triple A to the majors. That's the jump where you start to figure out who can play this game and who can't . Odorizzi dominated the Carolina League, but struggled upon reaching NWA. Monty's long-toss situation is known, but the Royals have softened recently - not sure what to attribute his problems to, but he owned every other level prior to 2011, long toss or not. I don't think it's that simple to say "they changed the program, thus, struggles" because even in the period where these players were "off program" they were doing well. Sometimes they just hit adversity and now it's time to see how they adjust to it. @jim fetterolf I can’t find a source about Dwyer’s training before or after the draft, so I don’t know the answer to that question.

I've heard that Jake Odorizzi's was and we know that Mike Montgomery was restricted from long-toss when he went Omaha. I don't think it just bad luck that a whole flock of hot young arms regressed last year. I sound like a broken record, but was Dwyer’s training program also changed when moved to Arkansas?
