Why MLB banned Carter Capps' controversial jump pitching delivery

Original: 【禁止】MLBが封じた「ジャンプ投法」 カーター・キャップスの球はどれほど恐ろしかったのか

Attention has returned to Carter Capps, the American reliever whose extreme 'jump' delivery — leaping off the pitching rubber and landing far in front of it while throwing — became one of baseball's most discussed and eventually outlawed pitching styles. MLB cracked down on the motion, ruling it an illegal replant step, and discussion now focuses on just how unsettling his fastball was for batters before the ban.

Why now: Renewed interest in how fearsome Capps' delivery was and why MLB chose to ban it.
