To me, Robertson's 2nd most effective "swing and miss" pitch is that knuckle curve.
Perhaps, the most effective in avoiding contact, except when he hangs it. For some reason, it feels like his cutter has been getting fouled off more, and while it can get him ahead in counts, isn't a knockout pitch like it was in the past because everyone is keying on it. And it's just not quite as sharp as it was in the past, or like Mariano's (obviously, nobody's is THAT's good, it might as well be his HoF plaque instead of his bust).
Once again, FG could back that up (or not).
It is and I think the main problem seems to be his fastball. Hasn't had great command of it and seems like the velocity of it is down. Not sure because I haven't checked to see for sure.
