He is not trying to do too much. Just taking what the pitcher is giving, and keeping his swing simple.

Oh Small...... you filthy animal.
Dealing.

People who know these things, will Mac get drafted?

It helps him but it's not what makes him special. What makes Small special is the ingredients of his fast ball.
However, it does assist him but most pitchers lack the balance & body control to do what he does at his balance position.
Additionally, the new way of teaching deliveries & velocity is big on momentum & gaining it through the delivery, which would go against stopping at the balance position like Small does.
For example: Wes Johnson is a very modern pitching coach & a damn good one as evidenced by the Minnesota Twins play right now, & the first thing he did with Dakota Hudson was speed up his delivery a hair. Same thing with Blaine Knight at Arkansas.
Hope that makes sense

Now that we are up 2, they need to call this game a W for us

It does. Just seems like if you aren't throwing mid-90s it could be a way to separate yourself and keep hitters off balance. I don't know how well it would translate to pro ball, just seems effective in the college ranks.

That was a shitty strike call. Really the only clear bad call on the ump.

Can Dick Cross do one KlanShart game without his homerism shining through multiple times?

Another thing about Small is how far he strides on his pitches. He gets some distance which makes the ball appear faster.
-
Well 17. Now small can't keep dealing, cause of fog.
-
They're gonna call it for tonight I'm afraid but shouldn't they get thru the bottom of the 6th first? We just had to hit in the fog. Make them do the same thing.

Geez. Only happens to MState. Pitcher dealing and then 30 min fog delay, which will force ya to the pen most likely.
-
It would have been nice to have their pitcher have to wait 30 additional minutes before he went out and 123 us.

Velocity is only part of it. Fast ball life is more important.
If you want to understand Small more, study guys like Marco Estrada & Mike Fiers. While they are a little different & right handed, they get it done in similar ways. Similar fast ball ingredients
