What is happening? Welcome to the PlusBitch Podcast. You're more in Pitching Podcasts from Pitcherlist.com. My name is Nick Pollack. Today is May 21st. Yes, I do need to get a haircut because you're watching on YouTube. Thanks so much for liking and subscribing. And we are going to talk about baseball. Trayy Savage had a fantastic game against the Yankees six innings. Zeroed runs to its zero walks and eight strikeouts. This looked a lot like the Trady Savage from last year, save for the splitter not quite being there yet. It's a sub 50% strike rate, few whiffs on it. That should be something that gets better in the future. However, the slider is really stepping up in a big way. We also do have the fastball that is getting 20 inches averse. Sometimes as high as like 23 to 24 inches. We saw that on a really nice strikeout to Judge where he thought it would be the splitter or the slider and it just

stuck on the outside edge. It's really nice. And honestly, I'm at the point that my concerns

of Yusavage and his command are behind me. He's also at 95 plus, which is an increased velocity

from the 94 we saw last year in the regular season. So I'm a fan of you Savage now. He's going to be moving up the list significantly. And so you could say about Kyle Harrison. He got a golden goal 19 whiffs, 40% CSW with seven innings of shutout ball against the Cubs in Wrigley. Two hits, one walk and 11 strikeouts. It was beautiful. I mean, the four seamer is still elite

and it's going harder now at 9596. He's at 1.8 high-ed-justed VAA. Great vert on it,

nailing the top of the zone. He had the curveball underneath a nearly 80% strikes for a

Blake's down blueprint. He didn't even get the change-up where he wanted it to be. And it still was a

fantastic outing. So Kyle Harrison is honestly looking like an ace. I mean, it's a 32% strikeout rate,

8% walk rate underneath that 7.7, I believe. 16% overall swinging strike rate. It's an

amazing season thus far. And I feel like he's only a start or two away from an ace.

He's going to ace label. If he dominates again like this, then how am I going to say no? A Carmen Muginsky had a good start against the Cardinals got ourselves a cheap win. Five-innings, zero, runs for its one walk and just one strikeout. How am I supposed to button my bread's bread with this? He gets the Cubs twins in Atlanta so we don't do it. But thank you so much for that. Milginzky, we do not want to host you anymore.

Shohia Otani saved his start with a basis load jam that turned into a double play to end the inning in the fifth uh zero earned runs three hits two walks in four k's not really the best otani start but props to him for getting through this one and giving you a win drew and Anderson is someone to keep an eye on because he went 63 pitches in this one,

4.2 innings of zero and runs to its two walks and seven strikeouts.

He has a flat four seamer at 95 and it can work at the top of the zone.

He got five of those seven strikeouts on those high heaters.

He did keep his slider change up and curbled down.

It's really a split change up that has been the pitch for him overseas.

I don't really know if that's really going to be a reliable split change for him here.

However, Drew Anderson might get some time.

He might piggyback when, say, Troy Melton returns, and that might be a cheap win there. It's just someone to be aware of, especially if the Tigers continue to have injuries. He might get forced into rotation, and he's not the worst thing out there. You have Tanner Bybee going eight innings of one and run, five base runners, and five strikeouts. It's a gold star because I did not expect him to do so well against the tigers. And there's one

thing that's really great, which is the four seamer, vert. Remember the beginning of the year where

it was 18 vert and sometimes 16 as opposed to the 14.5 or so it was last year? This was 19.
