I know the, "have you watched the games", is not a popular comment. But, to me, it seems Z's armslot is lower and he is slinging the ball instead of pitching. I was glad he went on the DL before the All-Star break. I thought he would have time to let the arm heal at least a little bit. The velocity on the fastball is still near the norm, but his strikeout rate is down, and that worries me. Z has not looked the same to me this year. The guy is a horse and his huge body allows him to keep the velocity up, it's not his arm. If anybody has video of Z's pitching motion and release of 2 years ago and today, I would love to see it. To me, he is a different pitcher. It seems like he slings and is afraid of "letting it go". I hope someone can prove me wrong.
