Does it just look like a sinker, but it's slightly slower, so you're always off it?
And when he pairs that with the sinker, is it really hard to see โ
You know, I'm going to try to hop into like the Brewers and Pirates clubhouse later this year and kind of poke around and see like, hey, you saw him in April or June or whatever.
Like, what did you describe to me as a lay person what that changeup looks like?
Because it doesn't look like Kyle Hendricks changeup or show to splitter.
It's a very different pitch to the point where it's I don't even know if you get classified as a changeup, but that's what we have to do from a classification standpoint, because he already throws a sinker and he already throws a forcing fastball and some other things.
It's a combination.
You know, that first bunt on opening day, I don't know why the Nats were shifting him over that hard.
Like, that feels like something that any team from an advanced standpoint is just going to look at and be like, oh, yeah, you can't play the third baseman at shortstop against him.
You just have to put him on the grass.
And you're like, hey, Pete, if you want to do that again, we'll try to throw you out.
You know, and then you decrease the probability that's successful.
To me, you're right, though.
It's really about the OBP.
I would bet Pete's aware of this, too.
I'm not sure if he's deliberately said, hey, I want to get my OBP up this year.
But that is how you unlock, like โ
top five MVP votes, if you just want to like look at war, which I think is really how a lot of people vote now for these awards is just kind of staring at those leaderboards.
We ran into that with Drake Baldwin over Kate Horton last year.
I don't really know if anyone watched the full season outside of market of those two players, but I think teams, people just looked at the war leaderboard and were just like, no, Drake Baldwin's higher, I guess he's the rookie of the year.
