What is happening? Welcome to the PlusBitch Podcast.

We're a pitching podcast from PitcherList.com.

My name is Nick Pollack.

Today is August 16th.

And yes, we are going to talk about baseball.

We have Tobias Myers as my lead yesterday because he has a 232 ERA and a 105 whip across his last 14 starts.

And he just survived against the Dodgers 5.2 innings of 2 and runs eight hits one walk one strike out how am I supposed to butter my bread with this it's not really the most impressive start but that ERA is still really low and how is he doing this how is Tobias Myers having the success I did a whole breakdown inside the roundup roundup long story short he has a fastball with really good I b that he throws for strikes a ton and he pairs it with a cutter over the zone. And two of them together aren't really exceptional at limiting ICR, but they are generally productive.

And then you also have a slider that is really good at it and change-up is really good at it.

So they're two good foundations, a slider that can get some whiffs and also does a great job of inducing outs.

And then a changeup that doesn't get strikes enough, but when he does execute it, it is a really successful pitch.

I think there is a higher ceiling even for Tobias Myers in the future.

We'll likely see a valley as those fastballs and cutters get hit a little bit harder.

But before them, but it's a Vargas

role right now we're gonna keep going with this one for device Myers until he really hits

that wall and then we're gonna pause until we see maybe the change it become more

of a consistent pitch Logan Webb is looking like an ace got the win against

Atlanta 7.2 winnings of zero runs with the King Cole seven keys in this one five

base runners the sweeper was a lot better and that's a huge deal

That's great to see for Logan Webb we carry on Bryce Miller did an amazing thing against the Tigers seven ending zero and runs to its zero walks and nine strikeouts

What did he do?

Splitters seven splitter whiffs

He had a 70% strike rate on it. Oh my gosh now here's the thing
