Mulder's Mechanics

Mulder3_1

Formerly one of the Oakland Athletics' celebrated Three Aces (along with Barry Zito and Tim Hudson), Mark Mulder ranked among the best left-handed pitchers in baseball until 2003, when he was diagnosed with a degenerative hip condition.  After being traded to St. Louis he remade his mechanics, with less than satisfactory results:  In 2006, he allowed nearly two baserunners per inning.

At Baseball Think Factory, a very smart minor-league pitcher has done a fascinating and intensive analysis of Mulder's mechanics then and now, complete with stop-motion GIFs (excerpted above).  It's definitely worth a look.
