After taking a beating last season with the White Sox, Dylan Covey pitched in the Arizona Fall League before taking two weeks completely off. At that point, he could do nothing about the hideous numbers (0-7, 7.71 ERA) that would go on his baseball card.
He could reform his mechanics though in an effort to rebuild his career.
Covey, 26, began a program to activate his lower half, which he termed “lazy” during his delivery. He also would strive to change his mentality after trying to live on the corners of the plate.
