Ofcourse assuming the 12-6 had same stats for both deliveries. I plan on making a RTTS SP tonight and was going to base my pitches around the delivery if this were true. Or if I threw a side arm slider with a 4ft break would I get that same amount of break with a 3/4 delivery or over the top delivery? (Assuming stats of slider are the same). If this holds true think I'm gonna create a Randy Johnson mold only a ft shorter lol with a nasty slider! Ultimately does certain pitches have a bigger break per Arm Delivery?

Although I haven't actually done this experiment, it certaintly seems like delivery affects pitch break. During my franchise run, submarine pitchers always have me hell. There aren't that many submariners out there, but their pitch breaks are so unpredictable. Even fastballs seem to have some weird downward motion 5 feet in front of the plate.

good call on the Randy Johnson clone. In my opinion, he's the most dominant pitcher of all time. I still remember as a 7th grader watching him own my Yankees in the world series. Simply the best ever!
