He's been popping up on center cut changes for 10 days now. He has to wait back and crush those. He's identifying them as fastballs. He’s not getting early fastballs on a consistent basis. He doesn’t look awful, just not a lot of hard contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Despite the low 5s ERA, Gio looks like a different pitcher this year. What a pleasant surprise that would be if he turned into a solid #3 moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime a guy has a sudden breakout at 27-29 it's a possible cause. I was being mostly tongue in cheek but it never surprises me when a pro athlete gets popped for PEDs.

His slider is nasty too, stick with the curve as a show me pitch. Betts and Martinez are wearing him out.

As a hitter thats what you want, a pitcher throwing the same pitch in the same spot. Only difference was one cutter was 86 the other 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
