How Trent Thornton's unorthodox delivery presents a coaching quandry

“My arm goes down behind my back then shoots up like a slingshot and then releases. It’s not the most attractive arm action.” That’s how Trent Thornton describes his delivery. He’ll also happily tell you that his arm “looks like a noodle flapping around” and his limbs “flail all over the place.” When Thornton pitches, people scratch their heads. (Yahoo! Sports)
