VV was vv good as he took full advantage of a glorious date with the Nationals. Vince Velasquez (PIT) WSH (W) – 6.0 IP, 0 ER, 5 Hits, 0 BBs, 5 Ks – 11 Whiffs, 34% CSW, 92 pitches. The fastball is still a little down at 95/96 instead of 97+ and the slider isn’t doing a whole lot, but even at the lower velocity, the heaters are just too good. HE SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN PULLED IN GAME SIX. Zack Wheeler (PHI) HOU (W) – 6.0 IP, 0 ER, 3 Hits, 1 BBs, 7 Ks – 14 Whiffs, 27% CSW, 104 pitches.Īces gonna ace. He doesn’t have enough in that repertoire as he slings 90 mph heaters and a mediocre curve + slider combo – just 1/16 CSW on those hooks. Props to him for getting outs against a very tough Toronto offense, but don’t you go on believing he can replicate this success moving forward.

That’s because you did. Okay fair, he just happened to also exist and pitch for the Mariners. I wouldn’t blame you if you thought I made up Easton’s name here. Easton McGee (SEA) TOR (ND) – 6.2 IP, 0 ER, 1 Hits, 1 BBs, 2 Ks – 7 Whiffs, 27% CSW, 64 pitches. We can’t get too ahead of ourselves raising him up The List given the clear injury concerns (sup deGrom), but he’ll get a little bump tomorrow. Clayton Kershaw (LAD) vs STL (ND) – 7.0 IP, 0 ER, 2 Hits, 0 BBs, 9 Ks – 19 Whiffs, 36% CSW, 88 pitches.Īnother fantastic start for TATIAGAand all we can do is sit back and marvel at this Hall of Famer still acting like he’s in his prime. But what about his fastball velocity? He was back up to 95.4 mph.
#Nathan eovaldi pitch repertoire how to#
I had no idea how to rank Gausman this off-season and I’m so glad we feel good about him now. Kevin Gausman (TOR) vs SEA (ND) – 7.0 IP, 0 ER, 6 Hits, 1 BBs, 13 Ks – 28 Whiffs, 41% CSW, 108 pitches.Īces gonna ace with a beautiful Golden Goal. Let’s see how every other SP did Saturday: Don’t chase the new hotness, the new hotness wants to be Eovaldi. There isn’t a whole lot more to say outside of “hey, I think Eovaldi is much better than the pitcher he was in the second half of last year and that’s pretty cool.” He’s not going to have another start like this one again this year – that’s fine – but the fastball velocity being back up mixed with solid splitters and curveballs means he’s cemented on your squad indefinitely. Well, not until Saturday when Eovaldi demolished the Yankees for a CGSHO: 9.0 IP, 0 ER, 3 Hits, 0 BBs, 8 Ks – 13 Whiffs, 29% CSW, 113 pitches. Even better? His fastball sat 97 mph throughout this one. I see Nathan Eovaldiand I see a pitcher who fantasy managers have been content to have rostered this year but rarely pump their first in the air for drafting. Nathan Eovaldi (TEX) vs NYY (W) – 9.0 IP, 0 ER, 3 Hits, 0 BBs, 8 Ks – 13 Whiffs, 29% CSW, 113 pitches. Have questions? Ask me during my office hours on Twitch weekday mornings from 10 am-12 pm ET.
