Another great example. He could throw is 94 if he wanted to, but he could throw the fastball with 2 movements at three different speeds, the slider at 3 different speeds and the change up at 4.

Then he had 3 different timings to the plate based upon how long he hung his foot while still moving into his throwing motion with his arm.

If that doesn't disrupt timing, i don't see what would!

Of course it helped that he could throw a golf ball into a soup can from second base.
