Blake Murphy

He's now gone seven innings in each of his last three.

That's more seven inning outings than he had all of last year.

Wow.

And yeah, I mean, you just can't say enough about what he's done.

I mean, you know, right now he has the highest single season strikeout rate for a pitcher, a starting pitcher in Blue Jays franchise history.

That's better than even Robbie Ray's Cy Young season.

This is a guy who is seriously flirting right now with a Cy Young case, especially when you consider that Tarek Skubal, Garrett Crochet and Hunter Brown are all essentially out of the race on account of injury.

And I just think the more you watch Dylan sees pitch, the more you understand why the Blue Jays jumped the market on him and gave him the biggest free agent contract that they've ever

Yeah, totally.

I mean, the unpredictability is a huge thing.

And yeah, I mean, when you have stuff like that, you can just be in the zone.

And, you know, when you have that depth of repertoire, getting count leverage only makes you more dangerous, more unpredictable, more effective.

I mean, look at what, I mean, he just had them in fits last night, man.

He was floating in like landing first pitch change-ups, then going to like two strike front door sinkers.

You know, it's really astounding, honestly, the...

the extent of the evolution we've seen in such a brief time, because I mean, he's, he's almost using all of his pitches, you know, close to the same amount, right.

He's got like four pitches last night that he used upwards of 15%.

Uh, you know, it's, it's, I mean, I don't think it's an overstatement to say that he looks like a different picture now, uh, albeit with the same caliber of stuff, um, that allows him to, you know, live in the zone and not worry about, about getting, you know, uh, hit around and give up a ton of hard contact.

Uh,

And yeah, I mean, there's no other way to put it.
