I'd have to break down better tape of him than I have from the TV broadcasts to be sure, but his release point has looked inconsistent. Not sure if that's a landing point/leg/arm issue.
It's also hard to try to go inside when you're not sure if your fastball is going to be straight or break 2-3 inches. At least effectively. I think some of those fastballs he's left over the middle to lefties have been pitches he was trying to throw inside that have drifted out.
