Get a lot more fastballs

Also called not having Eloy behind you

Notice it's against another lefty?

Eloy 2-2

Something to keep in mind is that Girardi was rumored to not have a good rapport with young players last year. Also when he was with the Marlins, he did a poor job handling young pitching.

So much for Fulmer figuring things out

Robert in the lineup

First time the pitcher for Dash has pitched in 3 years?

And huge games for Laz and Gonzalez

Still threw a good amount of strikes, so that's promising. He was one out away from a solid start, all things considered.

6 steals against Cease. Clark allows both inherited runners to score.

Fegan and Chuck are closest we have

Hoping it's just cause score was 10-0

Nah he throws consistently harder, and I'm also willing to bet he has higher spin rate on fastball.

Triple for Basabe

Looked like he was throwing a backdoor curve in the last inning. Wasn't bad at all.

Kopech got into trouble and then a wild pitch turning into an out at home likely ends his outing. VERY good showing for him. Kopech owes that Snyder guy a cookie basket, as he could have absolutely killed him on the slide into home.

Kopech might have tweaked something, doesn't look arm related as he's throwing 97 still.

Fastball consistently at 97 now

Kopech with dominating inning.

Fastball command is good, as even his misses have been close enough to get hitters to think about. I can totally see him becoming a sinker baller in the majors and not necessarily a power pitcher.

Just doesn't seem to be fooling anyone like he used to, but that's called AAA ball and not lower level. Not good swings against it though when it's been close, but not a swing and miss pitch. Of the 10 he's thrown though, 5 missed the play by a foot.

Kopech hulked up against middle of order, good fastball command so far

Velocity definitely lower when he pitches up in the zone. Roberto Pena just turned around 95 up for first hit against him.

Eloy two hard hit grounders so far. He's going to be a monster when he learns to elevate.
