What is happening? Welcome to the Plus Pitch Podcast. You're more and pitching podcast from

PitcherList.com. My name is Nick Pollack. Today's May 22nd. It's a very special day for me.

And yes, we are going to talk about baseball. My gosh, I just want to say that Hallbergton bounce

last night was the most ridiculous bounce I've seen since Spudweb at the slam dunk contest.

Oh my gosh.

That was something else.

All right.

But Gavin Williams, speaking of bouncing, this was bouncing back because his cutter is his number two pitch finally, guys.

It finally, finally happened.

He threw more cutters than sliders or sweepers and curveballs.

He went six innings, one and run to its two walks and six case.

And the thing is, it's 22% usage, only a 59% strike rate.

And you go, Nick, that doesn't, that shouldn't be that great.

Well, it's not supposed to be the greatest pitch ever.

It's supposed to be something that is a little bit more reliable and in the zone or around it than the

fastball, right? It just needs to be different. And this was at 91 in change with, with the four

seamer then going 10 over 53 whiffs with a 36% CSW. And the curveball wasn't in a strike pitch.

And having this near 60% strikes, beautiful.

I really do want to see 60, 65%.

But this is why I've been so in on it.

And I'm just so happy he finally did it.

So he gets the Dodgers next.
