Yup. His throwing coach, Tom House, had him use every inch of his body to build torque. House says that the energy for the throw begins at the feet and travels through the body all of the way to the fingertips. Energy can be lost all along that pathway with improper mechanics. Injuries to Drew late in his career threw a few "speed bumps" into that pathway.
