If he has made a mechanical change (usually done to prevent future injury) that might explain some of his struggles as he adapts to new arm action, release point, etc.</p> I have been told by folks who have seen him pitch that his delivery looks a bit different this season.

Nats minor league pitchers not only have pitch counts for games, they also have pitch counts for innings. I would imagine that they rarely have to be enforced but to me 40 pitches, specifically 40 pitches like Detwiler had thrown yesterday prompted the move.</p> Chris - Barry Svrluga had some additional information this AM.
