What is happening? Welcome to the Plus Pitch Podcast. More on Pitching Podcasts from Pitcherlist.com. My name is Nick Pollock. Today is May 23rd. Happy Friday. And yes, we are going to talk about baseball. We have Tanner Bybee, finally being in the Bybee's knees. Because, oh boy, did he have a good game against the Guardians. Just kidding, he is the Guardians.

He finally had a good game.

This was 7-80s, and runs 3.

It's one walk and eight strikeouts with 14 whiffs.

You love to see this.

And I am a little surprised that he did as well.

Why?

Because the cutter, which has been such a big thing for him.

It was in 2024. It's the pitch that really took over. Yeah, it wasn't actually that great in this one.

This was more about the sweeper being really effective to right handers. And then the change up,

despite being kind of in and out of the zone and not really well spotted, like we see all these really good strike zones plots of changes being down and away to

left-handers.

That wasn't really it for Bybee, but he still had five over 12 whiffs to them.

And that was really it.

The four-seamer was in the zone and didn't get punished too much.

There was a really bad, there was

really one of them that was just, or a couple of them, I should say, that were just like, oh gosh,

you got away with this and some line drives the center and everything like that. But yeah, the 42%

cutter strike rate, not good.

And I want to get in on this with Bybee, but I can't really.

He gets the Dodgers next.

And I'm like, all right.
