0:00.0 | What is happening? Welcome to the Plus Pitch Podcast. More pitching podcast from Pitcherlist.com. My name is Nick Pollack. Today, we're going to talk about the Arizona Diamondbacks. |
0:07.3 | And this is a very interesting situation because you might be listening to this in March. |
0:10.4 | And things might be different. Because we have Corrin Burns here. He's a stud. And you will be a stud. |
0:15.1 | And honestly, everyone that wants to say that Corrin Burns, oh no, 23%er. That's who he is. You're wrong. Well, you might be right. I don't know. |
0:21.5 | I don't think he's the same guy though because he has a new cutter at the end of the year last year that he |
0:27.0 | showcased with a lot more drop on it. It's kind of more like his old one. That actually allowed him to get |
0:31.1 | low with that pitch instead of middle with it. It's far better. This is more of the burns that we used to see. And guess what? Arizona had the second |
0:38.8 | best defense overall last year. They did lose Christian Walker, one of the best, if not the best |

0:59.4 | I think it's a very good situation for him. |
1:01.1 | And he'll have a better cutter than he showcased all of last year. |
1:04.0 | So that's good. |
1:05.1 | You have Zach Gallin, who I'm not really that high on. |
1:08.7 | And the whole approach of Gallin has kind of weirded me out over the years because when I initially |
1:13.2 | saw him, I was really excited because of the change up and then he had the slider and cutter. |
1:17.3 | And yes, this curveball's always been there. |
1:18.7 | It's been one of the highest low lock pitches in baseball. |
1:22.9 | It's the true death ball. |
1:24.5 | But when Gallin was really killing it, it was four seamers being established down and |
1:28.2 | then curveballs underneath it. So we actually had this really high cold strike rate on that |
