Is this a legit 92 MPH? Even if it is, a high 80s fastball that can "touch" 92 is a pretty hittable pitch when it's as straight as Igawa's fastball is said to be.
This is a mechanical breakdown to show why he throws chest high changeups and can't get the ball down. I wouldn't have wasted my time otherwise.
His delivery is poor if the desired result is getting the ball down (and it is, since clearly he can't cut it in MLB pitching the way he did in Japan) but I would guess he spent most of his life developing that motion because it served his purposes the first 26 years of his pitching life.
I'll grant that at this poit Igawa's motion is probably a mismash of his old Japanese one and whatever he's attempting for America, but I think the core point--that he's not getting the ball down because he's never wanted to before--is what's driving his struggle.
