What is happening? Welcome to the PlusPitch Podcast. You're more on Pitching Podcasts from

Pitcherlisted.com. My name is Nick Pollock. Today is September 8th and yes, we are going to talk

about baseball. We're going to change things up as we enter the playoffs for your fantasy leagues.

I'm going to be focusing more on five guys from the previous night that you should be considering for your next streams or really change if you should be adding or dropping these players.

And then on the second half of this, I'm going to be talking about the streams for today and tomorrow with a little glimpse at the day after tomorrow.

If you don't know this, I actually have my rankings out

already for the day after tomorrow's streams, but you have to have PL Pro to go and get those

rankings. So sign up for Pitchellos.com slash premium for PLPro yearly at 15% off with

He went against the Reds six innings. Three or to runs, three hits, four walks and seven Ks in his MLB debut. He went 88 pitches, which was a lot more than we expected. Only six whiffs. So what does he do?

How we were all excited about him, only six whiffs.

Is this good?

Is it bad?

Should we hold on to him?

Should we not?

Brandon Sprote throws cross body.

And what that means is that he starts on the third base side and then he lands with his left foot.

It is closer to third base.

So that means he is pitching toward the right-handed batter, and he's throwing back towards

home plate, which adds extra horizontal movement to both the sinker and the sweeper.

It adds a little bit of extra deception as well.

However, it does add a little bit to wonkiness of location. This is something we've seen in the past from Freddie Peralta, from Adam Adabino, from Jake Arieta, all these guys. And it's something where he goes in and out of rhythm. And it means you really can't trust that he's going to be able to execute every single pitch inside of an abat. He's not going to be able to avoid those games where he's just going to be volatile. He's not going to be able to have a lot of strikes on his fastballs, and it's going to be over-reliant on the secondary. So that innately gives me some concern. However, he does get Texas next. He does get the nationals next. And he goes into Miami for the last start for his season.

Those are too good of matchups because the sweeper and the curve are legit pitches.
