What is happening?

Welcome to the PlusPitch Podcast, and we're in Pitching Podcasts from Pitcher List.com.

My name is Nick Pollock.

Today is May 8th.

And yes, we are going to talk about baseball. J.T. Ginn led off tonight's roundup. Yes, and I've started to write the roundups at night again. Thank you guys for your patience with it. I found a routine, I believe it works now. and I'm returning to writing the weekday roundups at night.

J.C. again, eight innings of one-ard run for its one walk and eight strikeouts. It is a gold star, as he did this against the Phillies. And no, I do not believe it's going to continue. Just first and foremost, he pitches half of his games in Sacramento. As you know, Sacchar de Verde is not what we like to do. It's holy ground, and we don't do the sacred green.

And then we also have the fact that he had in 48% CSW on his sinker at 77% strikes.

He also had a massive cold strike rate on that sinker with an extra inch of ride. Sure, it's 16 inches, but there's no way that that's really going to continue as it was. Also, the 42% per pitch put-away rate, and I want to make sure that's clear, guys, I have two different versions of put-away rate. One is at the batter level, so it's only one batter and then it's all the strikeouts, right?

So how many times did you get to two strike counts against batters and did you strike that batter out?

And then it's also how many pitches did you throw in two strike counts and how many of them were efficiently converted.

42% per pitch putaway rate is just so high.

It's usually like 18%. Not going to happen. Also, his per batter

one, 57%, also very high. Not going to happen. So those strikeouts, it's eight-strikeouts,

not sustainable. It was, hey, this was cool, and we're not going to continue this. Also, I really

hope you have enjoyed adding,

sorry, looking at the game cards that I've added to the SB Roundups. I have that automated

every night now that pulls the image from our Blue Sky account of Pitcherless stats where we are

posting the game cards of every, uh, every starter. And now at the end of the roundup, you will see View Game Card. So enjoy that. Make sure you, uh, also read Kyle Bland's fantastic outline of how we made those letter grades and enjoy. Showed at Managa. Speaking of enjoying, you enjoy rostering him, six innings, one or to run six, it's, three walks in 10Ks. Yeah, the whip is high. I don't like that against Red Scarby. You don't need to do it, but he did get a golden goal, 22 whiffs, 36% C's W. 14 over 46 whiffs on the splitter, and he did get lower velocity, 91, but it was below 50 degrees. He's going to Hotlanta next. And I, yeah, it's going to be fine. He should be back to 92. I know Atlanta is doing really well as an offense, but you obviously are going to do this. This is why he's an ace. Michael King looked like one yesterday. The classic Michael King, six inning was of one run, just one hit. It was a home run on a bad changeup. First pitch.

And two walks in six-k's. 18. Away of 36%. C.S. W. Stupid. Managa taken away my golden goal, says Michael King.

This was something. I mean, I did a video of him this morning because I love watching Prime Michael King.

It really is just a gorgeous showcase of what you can be as a pitcher if you have four

pitches working in tandem. That is throwing this sinker, that is a proper sinker, throwing
