Angels Spring Training Game 12

Kind of a muddled/middling outing to be honest.

Good: velocity constant at 97-98, made it through three innings on 51 pitches, probably good for a 5+ inning outing with 3-4 runs surrendered in the regular season, induced five whiffs, though a fair amount of contract was also made. First inning he induced a couple GBs with the sinker, but also got lucky on some poorly commanded pitches later in the game.

Bad: he was nowhere near the zone through much of the outing, only 26 of 51 pitches were strikes, and some of those were OOZ reaches that were fouled off. The first solo HR was a meatball down the plate, just bad command, and the second was a slider that sort of slopped into Thomas’s wheelhouse.

Or in any case, I think that’s the truth. You might have meant it in a different way. 🙂
