Blue Jays Talk · JTP: Phillies Check-In & Why Didn’t Toronto Add a Deadline Bat? · 7 Aug 2026 podcast

That's a great question.

Yeah, the the why is always important, right?

So the first thing, uh, let's leave it to this the pitcher strikeout example, right?

The first thing I'll look at is velocity, obviously.

If he's throwing 104, well, that's a pretty easy story to tell.

If he's throwing in the mid-90s, uh, well, then you got to get to something a little better.

Uh the next thing I will look at is release.

You know, we all know that Tyler Rogers is a great example of this.

Doesn't throw hard, but he's very effective.

Why?

Oh, because he throws from under the earth.

Like that's weird and

Batters aren't used to it.

Next thing I will look at is pitch movement.

And this is where Sammy Tatera will pop.

He's got that elite rising action, the uh the IVB that you've maybe heard about.

Everyone throwing a four-seam is trying to get to that elite kind of rising action.

And he has it in spades.

Uh, he's like almost Alex Vesia, who I remember having this conversation about like five years ago when the previous Marlins administration fell a little behind the times and they traded.

him to the Dodgers after only a couple of big league uh appearances and I was like, Oh yeah, I can see why the Dodgers want this guy because his IVB is off the scales.
