"I've experimented with it as well, and I think he felt like it was a little difficult to maintain," Trumbo said of the toe tap. "There's some guys [who] have done it well, but I think with the speed that a lot of pitchers this day and age are throwing, the simpler the better. I think he used that a little while and we talked about how it can be difficult. It's useful against guys that throw a little bit slower, but the hard-throwers, it can be very tough to time. I think he did away with that and now he's gone with a more traditional load. I gave him a few examples of [left-handed hitters] who did a pretty good job and he studies the swing as much as anyone I've seen, so I think he's been able to integrate that pretty well."
