97 on the black for the K. Btw, does anybody know of a site that shows extension to the plate for pitchers?
A lot of baseballs pace of play issues would be resolved if every pitcher operated like Muller.

That’s the Braves pitchers ranked by release extension, and 6.25’ is roughly MLB average.
The only Braves pitcher with notable extension is Anderson, who gets roughly 1.2 mph added to the perceived velocity of his FA.
The Braves seem to have several prominent pitchers with poor extension, which is making their velocity play down. Smyly and Newk lose like a full mph off their fastball due to lack of extension.
Martin needed that
The first two at bats he left the ball in the middle of the plate for those outs. The last at bat was really good.
Good win. Really need to get to .500 this week.
5 shutouts in 12 games. I think these guys are finally pitching like their history shows they should.
It’s time to fix the offense. Somehow, we’ve got to get another decent bat.
