The point is the ball in a swirling wind, a couple MPH can make a difference between a tight spiral & a wounded duck. People that complain Trent can't play in the cold are wrong. It is not the temp. that affects Trent, it is the WIND & RAIN. In the rain, aside from the ball being harder to grip it is also HEAVIER thus requiring greater arm strength to throw it properly. If Trent were playing in Fla, Cal, Zona...or a DOME his arm strength would be fine. Where he runs into problems is playing in the NORTH EAST after Oct.
