What is happening? Welcome to the post-bitch podcast.

We're pitching podcast from pitcherlist.com.

My name is Nick Pollock.

Today is April 13th.

Happy birthday to my father.

And yes, we're going to talk about baseball.

I'm sorry.

I'm very late today.

I think you can understand that, you know, it's just one of those days that I wasn't

able to get to everything as quickly as I could, but here I am for you to talk about

all this stuff. Okay. Kevin Gosman, 3.2 hitting 600 runs, 10 hits. Zero walks 4Ks. Obviously not

we wanted what we wanted at all. 18 whiffs, 37% CSW. And are we worried a little bit? Splitters

went 11 for 31 whiffs, but the four seamer, well, I don't know.

It's kind of weird because the four seamer got hit a lot in play this year.

Its foul ball rate has gone way down.

It would be like a 23, 25% foul ball rate like every single year.

And right now it's at 13% and even lower in this game.

And what does that mean?

Well, it means that those foul balls are being translated into either balls and play

or to whiffs.

And the thing is we don't really want Kevin Gosman to be a big whiff guy.

He actually is a 14% swinging strike grade on his four seam really this year, which was well under 10% the previous two years.
