I'm late to the party, but I believe what Garth was alluding to is PBUC's recent emphasis on distance being on at least a parity with angle, if not more important at times.

After reading his article, I chatted with some Single A umpires locally and heard the same explanation for some of the little changes I noticed in mechanics.

I hear where you're coming from, I try to do both--get as close as possible and get the best 90 degree angle!
