At the time Maddux was a thrower sitting at 92-93. He discovered that throwing with as much velocity as he could caused him to lose movement. He dialed back his delivery and started concentrating on control and movement.

  I have seen a video of him as a high schooler throwing for scouts and he was throwing harder than I ever saw him throw in the major leagues and he had a longer stride and more powerful torque from his midsection. His finish also kept him from getting in a decent fielding position.
