Good hitters want to extend their arms, they want to take away the inside of the plate and look middle-to-away. If a pitcher can establish the inside of the plate, it keeps a hitter honest.

I was looking at his motion and his balance, if it was a consistent motion and if he repeated it. And on all those counts, I felt pretty good about it. I thought the mechanics were decent.

A lot of times what you see in the spring can change radically in the season. It can go from good to bad or bad to good. So I'm not too interested, I don't concern myself with their performance in the spring.

His breaking ball, change-up and fastball are sharp. His command is good. So I'm pleased. That's what you want more than anything, that they execute what they're trying to do and he was doing it fairly well. There were three hits that accounted for his runs -- two doubles and a homer. Of the three, only one was a little bit of a mistake.

I was very impressed. He seemed to get stronger as he went along. He stayed in his delivery.

I don't really pay attention to velocity with anyone.

Athletes can often undermine themselves with too much thinking. That might be one thing that happened to Oliver last year.

He's a lot more than I expected him to be. He's not as refined as he might be -- or is going to be -- but that's my impression.

My theory on him is he's essentially still in spring training. He's behind, and he's going through a bit of a dead-arm period, something like that.

He's consistent and feels very good about it. His balance is good. He's a lot better than the films I saw from last year. I think he'll pitch well.

The truth is, we're trying to get him to throw exactly like he did in previous years. It's a sense of timing and knowing where your body parts need to be in the delivery on the way to home plate. It's timing of the different parts.

My theory on him is that he's essentially still in Spring Training. He's behind, and he may have hit a little bit of that 'dead arm' phase. In general, he's throwing the ball better than he was when I saw him in January. It's consistent, he feels very good about it, his balance is good. It's a lot better than the films I've seen from last year.

In all my years as a pitching coach I've only done what I feel is right to help a pitcher get better, and my experience has been that I've been able to help a lot of pitchers.

You are always alert to if there is an exception, and my mind is open. In the case of Zach, I don't really think it is at this point.

When you commit to a delivery alteration or different focus, which we've done with almost every single pitcher on the staff, it sometimes takes a while to get the consistent release point. It takes a while to be able to throw the baseball without concentrating on that alteration. Once it's ingrained in there to where they can throw without concentrating on that and put all of their focus on getting hitters out, then they pitch better.
