What is happening? Welcome to the plus pitch podcast. You're more in pitching podcast from pitcher list.com. My name is Nick Pollock. Today we're going to talk about the Detroit Tigers. Oh boy. And guess what? They have SB number one. That is Terrick Scoobel. And yeah, he's going to be SB number one. It's weird because I don't actually think he's just, I don't know, invulnerable, but his change-up is just so dang good.

He mixes in his sinker and his four seamer really well in there.

There's also a really nice slider.

And at the end of the day, there just really isn't a guy that goes 30% strikeouts with his kind of volume on a winning club.

It's just not really around anymore.

And that's why it's Terrick Scoboble and not

Paul Skeen's. Okay. It's really that simple. I'm not going to draft Terrick Scouble because I don't

want to pay for the first one. I'd rather pay for a better hitter. But Terrick Scobble is number one.

And I don't really want to talk more about it because it's not interesting to me. He's just really good and that's that. Okay. Jack Flaherty is more interesting

because you can look at him and say, hey, he had this phenomenal season and that's who he is now.

Or you can say, well, his four seamer isn't that good. He needed to be really precise with his slider and his change up last year to really get what the results that he had.

Is that really sustainable throughout an entire year?

Well, we saw him in a really good rhythm at first and it was a little bit worse after that when he was the Dodgers.

I'm very torn on how I feel about Jack Flaherty.

It was really good with his breaking stuff.

I got to say, I mean, those who had him picking him up off the wire, taking a chance on this,

and it being that amazing was just something else.

But he returned a 358 ERA with a 128 whip across his his 10 games with the Dodgers and it was even a 24%

K rate across his last eight games and it's just right like that's what flared he turned into

when his slider strike rate fell to just 54% against right handers because he's someone that had

to be very precise with it and maskly just doesn't have that good of a four seamer.

So that makes me very hesitant.
