Little things like this are really hard to change, because ordinarily it’s not something you think about. So Snell has to remain aware of his foot and where it’s pointing enough times in a row that it starts to feel natural, and submitting things to muscle memory doesn’t happen overnight.
You would think the bullpen session before the game would be good enough to get locked in.
I bet it frustrating the coaching staff. They should figured out how to send a sharp pain through his foot when he lands incorrectly. That’ll teach him.
Is it that difficult for him to turn that foot?
Seems unnatural the way he is landing in the first place.

Well put.
