In response to "Unit is a what-if for me. What if Ryan corrected him at 24 instead of 29? Could he have had 400 wins?" by Will Hunting

well, keep in mind, historically, really tall pitchers take longer to develop.

more moving parts to keep in line.

Very few 6-9 and up pitchers are good right off the bat. Most struggle with control.

Yeah, but he debuted at 26, broke out at 29 and still won 300 - Will Hunting Jul 26, 08:39 4
- 1990 - 120 walks, 1992 -150 walks 1993-140 walks - groiny Jul 26, 08:47
- that's the thing, he would never debut at 23 then. - groiny Jul 26, 08:44 2
  - Right. The mechanical flaw. Fix that earlier and he’s a pitching Nolan Ryan. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 26, 08:46 1
    - was it mechanical, or was it that no one figured out how to get a 6 foot 10 pitcher to repeat a delivery? -- nm - groiny Jul 26, 08:48
