Half mound, half as high, reduced amount of force/torque on the shoulder. A very positive step. Hopefully he can still throw smoke and not lose his career. They had to of twerked his delivery, bc it was very violent before.

It’s higher than a flat ground but lower than a mound.

The higher the mound, the more torque generated by the shoulder.
