Blue Jays' Jesse Chavez: Improving after mechanical adjustments
Thanks to a mechanical adjustment, Chavez has seemingly overcome his early season struggles, Sportsnet reports.
Analysis:
The 32-year-old didn't make clear the specific changes in mechanics, but the righty made reference to his arm slot and grip. Chavez thinks the mechanical issue cropped up because he started his off-season routine late this winter as he was recovering from a broken rib. From May 28 through June 18 he strung together 11 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run, a stretch that saw opposing hitters bat .139/.184/.139 against him.
