What is happening? Welcome to the Plus Pitch Podcast.

New morning pitching podcast from Pitcherlist.com.

My name is Nick Pollack.

Today is July 3rd, and yes, we are going to talk about baseball.

Vince, no, Vincent. Valente.

There we go. Valente. Belazzo went five innings pitches, five and runs, seven minutes,

one walking eight strikeouts.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Is this a strikeout guy Nick that's why I led with Balazzo yesterday in the roundup even though I

had some really interesting things to talk about otherwise but I always go for that

guy that you might be overlooking and then you see you go away hole on there is this

guy I got you he throws low 90s heaters and that's really hit it's like he has a cutter

that comes back over the play you got some backdoor looking strikeouts to lefties.

He got a nice change-up strikeout, but a curveball over in the middle, some weird fastball ones. No, I really don't think he's that good. He does get the White Sox next. Maybe that

does work. This was against the Red Sox in Miami. But Valenti Blasso, not really someone that

you need to circle and be like, oh, that's that's my guy you know think of him as a very desperate Sunday streamer Nathan Evaldi against the Padres seven-innings

zeroed runs he looked great everything is good we like that grace and Rodriguez got

19 wifts with the gallows point guess what changeups were down changes were down

for Grace and Rodriguez nine over 28 whiffs yes oh my gosh 43% CSW on that change up the slowball now if only like the other stuff were also elite command fine

heaters were a little too much out of the zone that's why you have four walks in there but just changes were down oh my gosh

I'm just so happy and this is why he

could be so good in baseball if that change him actually stays down but anyway okay
