Nats tweaking Meyer's delivery: According to MASNSports.com, the Nationals are making a slight adjustment to prospect P Alex Meyer's deliver. Meyer, the 23rd overall pick in June's draft, is 6-foot-9 and struck out 110 batters in 101 innings of work at the University of Kentucky last year. "We made a small adjustment to his front side," Nationals director of player development Doug Harris said. "This will allow him to deliver his pitches more north-south instead of east-west. (Meyer) has a quick arm. The ball jumps out of his hand. This adjustment creates more angle in deception to his pitches, maximizing his natural height. If you imagine his delivery more as coming down like a ferris wheel, it makes it very difficult for the hitter to get anything on his swing." (Updated 10/21/2011)

Fantasy Analysis
This adjustment has helped other taller pitchers in the past -- Randy Johnson included -- so only time will tell if Meyer's benefits from this new delivery. Washington will continue to watch Meyer and get him plenty of work heading into spring training. As of now, Meyer holds very little Fantasy value, but is worth keeping an eye on in long-term keeper leagues. (Updated 10/21/2011).
