Stretch or Windup?

BOF10,000+ posts

Curious what the current teach is regarding throwing from the stretch all the time or going back and forth between windup and stretch?

Jr redid his mechanics last year with his college pitching coach over the summer and went to 100% out of the stretch. The thought process was to get him closed up and more consistent, which it did. He was a two way and worked out of the bull pen this year and will likely be converted into a starter next year. I imagine his pitching coach will take the "if it works don't fix it" route but curious what the Kyle or some others in the know think?

It used to be that you would pick up a few MPH out of the windup but not sure if that is the case any more. A number of MLB pitchers do this now also.

Thoughts?
