I am referring to him looking over towards third base for a long time and then turns and throws . He does this every time whether there are runners on or not. In almost all activities that require moving something to a target you want to focus on the target so you can feel the motion required to hit itYou don’t want to pick up your target at the very last second.. You wouldn’t expect a QB to look entirely in the opposite direction before turning to find his target and throw so why would throwing a baseball to a target be any different. I hope somebody picks up on this and works with him..
