With Javier pitching tonight, I thought the following was interesting - Swinging strike rate of pitches in the zone (SPs only):

 

Thanks!

 

Three Astros in the top 20.

García is remarkable being that high up there with his lackluster fastball. The cutter and change up are just that good.

 

Yordan hit .412 with a 1.112 OPS in the 2019 WS. He was terrible in the 2019 ALCS.

 

Takes care of the shutout and no-hitter.

 

Well this is just great

 

Is this the Astros new way of showing eventual dominance against lesser teams ? Get down early and often ? Maybe they're bored

 

Javier so far can’t find his spots, the home run was a bit flukey but the walk was pretty bad.

2nd 3-ball count in a row.

 

What is up with our starters this series

 

That’s a ton of empty seats near first base.

 

Royals have scored first 8 consecutive games

Javier falling from grace a tad

Score runs and he still dub's

 

Gonna have to make another comeback

 

KC really rakes against us apparently

 

Way to go Javier. Throwing meatballs.

 

welp..

 

Batters now realizing to just sit on the fastball and swing a few inches higher than normal.

 

Very disappointing

 

He'll end up with 10 strikeouts easily... but **** around and give up 6 or 7 runs.. Astros win 9-7...

 

This series is a primer on why you don't trade starting pitching depth if you can help it.
