Hitters have been saying forever thata fastball with lots of life Derrick Brown Jerseys jumps at them. Imagine their reactions whena pitcher jumps at them.

Anyone who faces Marlins right-handerCarter Capps has to deal not only with high-90s heat, but also a highlydistracting motion that gets that fastball to the plate from a much shorterdistance.

Observe: Capps' season debut for the Fish on Monday in Atlanta:

Is that legal? Barely. He ran into problems at Triple-A this year, .

Capps worked a scorele s, hitle s eighth inning, with one strikeout and no walks, in Miami's 3-2 lo s.

He didn't always pitch like this. The 24-year-old had a conventional motion in 2011, the year he was drafted by the Mariners. His mechanics during the Carolina Panthers T Shirts Cape Cod League All-Star Game at Fenway Park that summer:

A year later, when he reached thebig leaguesfor Seattle, he still had Corn Elder Jerseys a normal delivery. Check out his debut at Yankee Stadium:

Fast-forward to last year. After a bad 2013 season in Seattle (5.49 ERA, 3.51 BB/9 in 59 innings)and a trade to Miami, Capps decided to shake up things. How he looked in his Marlins debut,again in New York:

You can see a Jordan Walden-esque hitch in the giddyup (more on Walden in a minute), but nothing too extreme.

Not satisfied with that motion, he went next level this year. From a side se sion during spring training:

Figure Carolina Panthers Jackets he's releasing the ballfrom, what, 50 feet now? If he can keep all of those moving parts moving in the right direction, then his delivery could be a huge a set.

Back to Walden: Hehas been doing something similar for years. From Cardinals spring training this year:

Hey, whatever works.
