The Dodgers gave him a cutter so he stopped getting crushed by lefties. Brasier already accidentally cut some sliders so they developed it as a separate pitch - with Red Sox: LHB .388 - with Dodgers: LHB .142

What the Rays did to turn Zach Eflin into one of the better SP's this year was nothing crazy. - Essentially scrapped the 4-Seam and CH - Made him throw his 3 best pitches (Sinker, Curve, Cutter) - Cutter usage from 15.25 to 27.5% - Added negative ivb to curve - more sink!

Was recently talking to Zach Voelker on how to potentially increase extension for a pitcher. I decided to look into how extension affects whiff and hardhit% in the MLB this season All I know is that Devin Williams is in a world of his own

Cade Obermueller (Iowa Baseball) will be a big name next year. Up to 97 for the Hyannis Harbor Hawks, Cade has an elite 2 pitch mix that features an absurd slider that averages 8ivb. He is an elite mover who is able to generate some crazy movement patterns. K’d 30 in 17in this summer

JD with another masterclass 🔥🔥

Astro’s had 8 righties in the lineup and RHB’s are hitting .164 and slugging .365 off Sale’s slider this year. Righties crush his sinker and changeup.

I agree with this that Giolito needs more of a cutter. Something that has a little more velo and vert. He's practically ditched the CB since he shortened his arm path in 2019, I say throw it more and see what happens.

Tried my hand at making a rating system for starting pitchers. I call it SPR (Starting Pitcher Rating) and rates pitchers off some basic stats such as ERA, WHIP, FIP, WOBA, etc.

Cole Ragans added a slider and instantly became a stud. He’s generating a 45% Whiff and throwing it for 74% strikes. It cut his FB usage down and helped open up more of the plate to attack.

It took him awhile, but Triston Casas finally turned into the hitter he was projected to be. He really turned it on after the All-Star break with a .317 BA, 1.034 OPS, and 15 bombs Finished the year with a 129 wRC+ (19th overall). Hopefully the new regime gives him an extension

I can’t get over how Brasier finished the season with a 0.70 ERA in 38 innings with the Dodgers Here’s a strike zone visual at how much his cutter affected his FB success against lefties.
