improvement, that was only a solo homerun LOL you threw 3 straight non-competitive pitches. of course the batter was going to hone in to your fastball brother
I see negative improvement in Burrow's fastball. It's somehow getting worse. It looks like a beachball to hitters.
Flat fastballs are the best ones. About half the 4S fastballs are flatter. About half are less flat. His fastball is about as average shape as possible. Average equals the pitch does not deviate from what a batter expects. Flat fastballs actually appear to be rising as they don't drop a usual amount. Flat is used by scouts to make it sound like they can see what the pitch is doing, but in reality, they are speaking BS.
during the all-star break, burrows should just completely drop the 4-seamer all together and practice to see if he could throw 2-seamer or cutter because his 4-seamer and sinker ain't working
They are still making hard contact off his four seamer, if that last one was at Daiken, it might've been in the Crawford Boxes
I wonder how long of a runway Matthews will get. I understand we don't have many options but he's overmatched.
If he doesn’t break out over the next month and if he isn’t traded, he won’t be playing much after the deadline.
