For those who like to talk about Braves pitchers becoming TOR guys, watch deGrom and become acquainted with the type of stuff required.
Can gohara match him?
Can gohara match him?
Sure, if he added 2 average or better pitches.
Albies walk rate is getting interesting. You get a guy with that much speed on 40+% of the time....wow
Has to add 2 pitches?
He has to continue to refine the change because 2-pitch guys Top out as Chris Archer. As he loses velo on the FA he will likely have to add something like a cutter or sinker.
And he will obviously have to maintain average or better control.
Dickey's option has become a real question mark for the team. I agree with thethe - lets ride with the kids.
jon heyman noted today that the Braves are likely to pick up Dickey's 8 million dollar option.
I'm of the mindset to let Gohara, Fried, and Newcomb fill out the rotation and to spend the 7.5 million saved on Dickey on one or two pen pieces.
