Athletics starting pitcher Drew Pomeranz said he's confident his struggles with mechanical issues is over, according to MLB.com.
"I think if I would've come into camp like I did last year, there'd be a lot more to change," Pomeranz said. "I don't expect to change much this year. I actually feel better this year than I have in a long, long time. Probably better than I did the whole time with Colorado, which is a good thing, because I was struggling to find myself there.
"I have a better plan with my mechanics. I feel like I know what I'm doing a lot more now. I was just searching last year to feel right. Repeating my mechanics was difficult. I was always trying to do something different to make it click."
The A's are eager to see what the 2010 first-round pick can do after giving up Brett Anderson in a trade with Colorado to land the left-handed hurler.
"He has a lot of upside still," manager Bob Melvin said. "He's only 25. The ability is there. Refining it is our job. Giving him confidence is also our job."
