He now has 5 walks and 2 HBP in 5 1/3 postseason innings, which is just awful. He only hit 2 people during the entire regular season and his walk rate has doubled from where he was in the regular season.


Not sure if he is overthrowing, but looking at individual AB's from the postseason, his FB velocity looks to be unchanged - I do not have stat cast cumulative numbers to look at, just eyeballing the pitch boxes from gameday. Maybe he's overthrowing to get there if that's what you're saying? IDK, but his postgame interview suggested confidence going out there and confidence going forward, which makes me happy.

That's my theory. I don't have anything to really back it up.

ETA: just seens batters are getting better contact on his FB and he seems to be spinning off of his line a good bit (potentially because he is trying to get a little extra velo).
