ARLINGTON, Tex. — As much as it can be discerned from player development staffing announcements, biomechanist became a regularly filled position for the White Sox ahead of the 2020 season.
They weren’t breaking any new ground across the league then, nor are they now, but it only takes a standard-level of organizational familiarity to know that many fans would be surprised at how often biomechanics are being referenced by White Sox personnel this season. Not the capability, but it being put into action — for Miguel Vargas’ hand adjustment, for Colson Montgomery’s Arizona hitting sabbatical, for tweaks to Hagen Smith and Noah Schultz’s deliveries, for a start where Davis Martin had a seemingly random velo jump that was actually spurred by a breakdown of how much force he was using to move down the mound.
