GDT 8/2 Wright Vs Wrong

Wright with 2 IP, 42 pitches, 22 strikes, 3 BB, 2 hits, 1 K

He probably won't see the end of the 4th at this rate. Quickly pitching his way out of a rotation spot??
 
That PA vs Nimmo shows exactly why Wright will continue to get unlimited chances to stick in the rotation, all the while hoping he figures out how to execute his pitches more effectively.

Fastballs at 95-96 down, but over the heart of the plate. They are just nasty enough he didn’t get hurt.

Slider with good bite at 83 in, but not down and in enough to put the hitter away.

Change ups that appear plus to the eye test, but he didn’t execute the first 2 on the outer edge to induce a swing. Then he executes the 3rd change on the outer edge to get the K.

The parts are there, he’s just missing that fine tuning in the execution to be truly effective. If/when he figures that out he will be a nice 2-3 with potential for more depending on how the control progresses.
 
I have to review his stuff. That thing 89 breaking in to Conforto looks like a cutter/slider, and is a different pitch than the 83 breaker we saw earlier.
 
Damn Wright's getting the outs when needed. A 1-2-3 would be cool tho.
 
The Mets inability to hit with runners in scoring position is killing them. Hopefully, they can wait a couple more days until they figure it out.
