In this Friday, June 26, 2009, photo, Detroit Tigers catcher Gerald Laird(notes) throws the ball during a baseball game against the Houston Astros in Houston. Laird has the best percentage in the American League at throwing out base stealers. A catcher's success can be determined by a fraction of a second. Laird might be slicing valuable moments off his delivery by an unorthodox three-finger throwing grip.
