When Carson Palmquist arrived at Miami three years ago, he was an overlooked recruit with a fairly standard arm slot that fell just below three-quarters.
A few seasons later, having proven himself as a closer and a starter for the ‘Canes, Palmquist’s delivery looks a lot different. The 6-foot-4 southpaw became more hunched in his motion and his arm slot dropped to near-sidearm, all of which contributed to the Rockies drafting him in the third round at No. 88 overall on Monday.
“Over my years at Miami, I don’t know why, but I’ve slowly dropped my arm slot down,” Palmquist said.
