What is happening? Welcome to the Plus Pitch Podcast. You're more in pitching podcast from Pitcherlist.com. My name is Nick Polk.

And today we're going to talk about the San Diego Padres. By the way, I am putting out my top 400 rankings this week.

If you want a Google sheet of just all those rankings, also all of my prospect pitchers that I've gone through so far into tiers that you can just kind of see them quickly. Also, all my blurbs in one spot. Yeah,

you can get PL Pro for that. I have shared my Google sheet that I'm still working on as I do this,

but probably as you listen to this, it's done. And you can get that just quickly on your hands

as a quick cheat sheet as well. So make sure you get PL Pro today among all the other millions

of things that we offer.

Dylan Cease, please throw a cutter.

I know it.

It's kind of a joke at this point, but I still feel he needs one.

And I have to give massive props to him because last year he solved one of his major problems.

That was his slider to left-handers and right-handers alike were just not getting enough strikes.

He really needed that to be a big strike pitch for him.

So he didn't have to rely on these fastballs inside the zone as much.

And he did that.

And he had a very successful season.

A 343 ERA at a 107 whip.

6.5 hit per 9 is a bit lower than it should be.

Sure, if you strike out and walk as many batters as he does,

which is about 40% of his batters,

you will just have fewer hits also.
