PrintHis MLB debut, he didn't walk a batter in 5.1 innings against the Yankees:
His release point was at or below the line, and strikes ensued. His next appearance was in relief against Minnesota. Both outs he got were strikeouts, and he didn't issue a walk.
Looks like his release point was about the same. Next time out was a start against Baltimore, where he walked 3 in 5.1 innings:
Uh oh, his release point crept upwards. Then there was today's abortion of a start:
David Price needs to get low.

his release point has been very similar to today's all season
for example, in the colorado start where he didn’t walk anyone for those seven innings, his release point was the same as today. So it seems like thats something he changed between this year and last year, not just tonight
And he had a BB/9 over 6 entering today
Maybe the release point is the problem and maybe it isn’t, but obviously it’s different. And in the Colorado game, it’s not like his command was there at all, he threw pitches that caught a ton of plate and they hit it.

yeah, its tough to tell, especially because he didn't throw that many innings last year
for the heck of it, his release point was at the lower point in game 7 of the alcs last year too
