    This chart from yesterday pretty much verifies what the eye test told us about Strider’s curve. It is basically a slower version of the slider, which is why it has more break on the same plane. The chart also shows that the curve and slider tend to blend together.

    Which is better? Hard to say, but I suspect the slower version of the breaking ball is better.

    We also got more confirmation yesterday that Strider at 95-96 is a much more hittable pitcher than he is at 98-99. I believe the key to sustained success is refinement of the change so he can be effective when the velocity declines to 95 permanently.

    And snit needs to do a better job monitoring when strider tires and loses stuff in the middle of a game. In the regular season it’s not a huge deal, but the Braves scant afford to lose playoff games because snit was once again asleep at the wheel and left strider in 2-3 batters too long at 95 mph.

    FG article on the same topic: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/spencer-...-how-it-works/

    The chart in the middle titled Spencer Strider's Breaking Ball Movement looks exactly like 2 pitches that blend together rather than 2 distinct pitches.
