exactly.

He goes down then up, and it looks like his arm goes back down again, right before releasing.

I can totally understand how some old stalwart like Tony LaRussa took one look at this kid and said … “Um, No!”

I agree William.

One thing I noticed, and I didn’t put this in the post since I don’t really know what I’m talking about, is he actually drops down lower than his final release point.

In other words, he bends down a lot, then actually stands up straighter before releasing.

I don’t know if he does that for leverage, that might make sense, but it seems worth pointing out.

it just looks like there is so much wasted energy there.

This has to put him at a higher risk of injury, right?
