I don't think Walden's hop helps him much, except to cause wildness, Capps is obviously gaining momentum with his leap to the plate,

Walden actually throws the ball while in mid-air, whereas Capps is landing and pushing off with his right foot again. Basically, it seems his true throwing motion does not start until after the leap is complete. Which basically just means he is throwing from 3 feet closer that he otherwise would.
