David Price and release points

His 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

Release point measurements vary slightly by ballpark right? This was brought up during the Wang release point debate.
