He also throws a curve but I think the Fish have made him concentrate on the slider. He doesn't miss as many bets as you'd think he would on paper. I haven't seen him pitch this season but I can't wait to see how he does hopped up on adrenaline today...
He pitches inside with abandon so hopefully nobody will get plinked. Hopefully Harang will school him on the slider today.
The consummate professional vs the hot headed kid..... be there or be square.
