This was a fairly encouraging start for Elder. Creating more separation on his pitches is going to help him sequence better.

Also, the sinker is dropping and getting more run

Last year: 8 iVB, 14 HB

Today: 7 iVB, 15 HB

FA and SL shape are noticeably different.

Fastball sat around 93-94.

This is really encouraging - thanks for posting this!

anyone know what a Schunk is?

Albies had a .770 OPS in the 2nd half last year. That coincides with his wrist getting its strength back. If his wrist is back to 100% from his end of season injury, I believe he’ll be fine.

As long as Ozzie is crushing RHP, he should be fine.

30 walks/ 30 hits?

It’s Greek for playoff starter.

On an unrelated note, with the ABS system now a thing, I kind of wish Angel Hernandez was still working

This would be the most cruel thing ever to witness …. Poor old Angel wouldn’t make it a week

Just 1 homer but I think Riley needs to keep growing the hair out.
