alex wood's delivery is what i would describe as 'all knees and elbows'. pretty sure vin scully has called it the same. the lefty's delivery is on display on a trio of cards that were included in a recent trade package from nick at dime boxes.
first up is wood's 2018 topps opening day card
that's about as compact as wood gets in his windup.
next up is a 2018 panini donruss card
here is where wood extends his left arm. you've heard of 'making the t' with your arms as part of the throwing motion? wood makes a sort of forward slash.last up is a 2018 topps 1983 design insert
wood is a bit more upright here than you'd expect. at some point he leans over during his delivery - somewhere between the photos shown on the donruss and 1983 card.
there were more great cards in the package, as always. thanks nick!
Didn't even realize I'd included a progression of Woods in that stack! Glad you enjoyed everything.
