Justin Verlander believes he has identified a problem with his mechanics that he hopes will help him return to dominating form.
Verlander has been solid this season, with an 8-5 record, 3.77 ERA and 114 strikeouts.
"It's been a battle for me personally this year, mechanics-wise, to be able to repeat my delivery like I have in the past, but everything's healthy and I think I found something in my last bullpen session before my last start," Verlander said.
Verlander said that by comparing video from starts in past seasons to this season he was able to identify a problem with his shoulder angle in his delivery.
"I think that led to me being too inconsistent trying to deliver the ball, especially with my fastball command, and that's kind of the root of all my problems this year," he said.
