But he really challenged hitters in the zone and if we again go back to the pregame show, we talked about how walks had been issued, walked ten hitters in his previous three starts over just fourteen innings. voice-verified
Just the capacity to fill the zone when you have voice-verified
a great defense behind you in a lot of spots, that was encouraging too, because if he can be efficient and he can throw strikes, then the chances of getting through, you know, five, six innings are just more likely to happen as opposed to some of his outings in recent voice-verified
uh weeks which have just you know they they've dragged a little bit and by he's putting the fastball in the zone and putting it in great spots where he can get swing and miss, right? voice-verified
You don't think of a fastball at kind of 93, 94 as a great swing and miss pitch. voice-verified
Coming into this start, he only had a fifth 14% whiff rate on that pitch. voice-verified
In this start it was at 42%. voice-verified
So literally three times as often guys voice-verified
were swinging missing on the pitch. voice-verified
Yeah. voice-verified
That's not because he was suddenly throwing 98, it's because it was just pinpoint location. voice-verified
And that's a hard thing to project start to start week to week. voice-verified
Is he gonna have that the next time he jumps on the mound? voice-verified
I don't know. voice-verified
But is it a possibility? voice-verified
Yes. voice-verified
And again, before this outing, I'm not sure we thought it was a possibility at this level. voice-verified
And it it's just voice-verified
really, you know, changes a little bit the perception of what he might be for the Blue Jays down the stretch. voice-verified
Even though with him, you know, there's always the risk of the injury, the flare up, the thumb, various ailments. voice-verified
