Lance Brodzowski

So, I mean, he's going to run into some outings where –

He gives up some barrels because the changeup is kind of tipping up in the zone.

He loves using that almost as like a sinker, an early count pitch.

But there's also going to be games where he strikes out 14, and you're like, what on earth did I just watch?

And that, to me, is really exciting.

From a more nerdy standpoint –

With the Marlins last year, he took off because he stopped throwing his forcing fastball.

The Marlins were like, hey, your sinker's better.

You can get it in zone equally as much, and it's going to allow less damage.

He threw that a bunch, and his walk rate finally ticked down to more of like a league average level.

Prior to that, you go like 22 to 24.

We were all just kind of complaining and dreaming on what he could be if he was in the zone more.

That is the forcing usage is something I'm curious to see how it unfolds with the Cubs.

The Cubs, I think we're top three or four enforcing fastball usage last season.

I do think some of that is influenced by the park they play in and the aggressiveness you can have in the potential to not allow a bunch of barrels and be in zone.

Cabrera to me,

I think that I don't want as much foreseeing, but I'm also not Tommy hot of being Tyler Zomber.

And these guys were far smarter than me primarily because I saw him be amazing last year, throwing like 10% foreseeing fastball.

So I don't know why you would kick him back to 25, 20% foreseeing fastball.

But again, that's a really nuanced topic that you could nerd out on and see in the game.
