    Did you see that walk? Kid is clearly turned the corner... even a legit hitter now

    If he can keep his pitching walks equal to his hitting walks like he has this game, I think he has a good career ahead of him.

    It was a great AB though, I was surprised.

    If Newcomb can be even 3/4 successful as Minor was for us I'll take it.

    Newk quietly has a solid GB rate.

    You realize his GB rate is below average right?

    No you probably don't know that.

    Swanson just backed away from a slider on the outside half. Then Ks on another.

    I know it's a cop out, but maybe get his eyes checked?

    It's a solid GB rate for a strikeout pitcher.

    Strikeouts spiking up again

    I'm still worried

    He needs to spend all off season with gohara seeing stud sliders

    I know we have a team optometrist. Hopefully Swanson is listening to him.

    There are 36 pitchers who have thrown 89+ innings with 9+ K/9.

    Newk ranks #23 on that list in GB rate, which is below average for "strikeout pitchers".

    Would you like to try again?

    That was actually a really quick review.

    I think everyone knew Lively was going to hit Albies there. Glad it missed his hand/elbow.

    Newk's LD rate is #3 on that list.

    It would be accurate to call Newk a "line drive pitcher". Not exactly the best type of pitcher to be haha.

    People were very quick to trash on Newk IMO. Guy has plus stuff across the board, great pithers build and elite velocity.

    lol go ahead and run the queries yourself. If you add enough qualifiers you will come up with a list that has Newk in the top half!

    Camargo is so smooth in the field. Our infield defense is going to be a big plus next season.
