Step-over/stride extending mechanics tend to amp up the MPH you can produce, but a lot of guys can't hold up to throwing that way for a long period of time.

At 5-11/6-0 and 190 LBs or so, Ventura is a better bet to hold up long term but no guarantee.

Still, a lot more guys have held up at that size than at Lincecum's...

Thanks
