"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Miami Marlins pitcher Carter&amp;nbsp;Capps&amp;nbsp;one-hopped his pitches on Monday night\u2014in a manner of speaking.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The pitcher's 2015 delivery involves a hopping motion that takes Capps off the rubber and toward the batter. Apparently, it's a legal move.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 Marlins' Jeff Mathis, Don Kelly fracture fingers&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It wasn't the hopping motion MLB had a problem with, according to MLB.com. It was Capps' supposed elevation as a result of said hop.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From the pitcher himself:\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"They just said they wanted me to make sure I dragged my foot and not get too elevated in the air, and make sure it's more on a lateral plane,\" Capps said. \"As long as I do that, they have no problem with it. But it was very strange.\"\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Capps&amp;nbsp;has been described as a \"different\" sort of pitcher for years. His wide release point during the 2012 was notable for being approximately four feet &lt;em&gt;behind &lt;/em&gt;righthanded batters. Now, Capps is literally jumping toward those batters as well.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Will Green&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
