What is happening? Welcome to the Plus Pitch Podcast. You're more on Pitching Podcasts from

PitcherList.com. My name is Nick Pollock. Today is January 21st. And yes, we are going to talk about

it's still not good enough.

I mean, I mean, that's it.

His four-seamer is not of an effective pitch when he was at his peak.

And maybe that sinker is good against right handers again, but no.

Also, I should say Calquantra was the interesting one last year.
