TOTAL: 3-1, 0.34 era, 26.1 ip, 26 h, 9 r, 1 er, 9 bb, 20 k, .274 baa, 1.33 WHIP



Duester throws upper 80s mostly, low 90s. Does have downward movement and draws a lot of ground balls with that and his slider. Has pretty good command. Had some defensive struggles behind him allowing 9 total runs but only 1 has been earned. Really labored his last 3 outings and has had to pitch from the stretch a ton.

His BAA is like .275 and his WHIP is around 1.3.



He's not dominating people. How he's managed to keep runs from crossing is a testament to him getting out of jams i guess. But he isnt cruising through innings.

even if you ignore the runs/earned runs in the last two starts he still gave up 6 baserunners on his own (either hits or walks) in 2.2 and 9 baserunnres in 5.2 innings.

Lot of traffic on the basepath. WHIP of 1.80 in last 2 starts. That's flirting with disaster. Especially against a team like LSU.
