Other Random Observations
- Ben Joyce’s fastball has been excellent in a small sample size (surprise!)
- Sam Bachman throws his slider a lot and gets great results
- Detmers has a killer curveball that he throws 19% of the time
- Shohei’s cutter has been pretty lackluster (i.e., a nice way of that it’s gotten bopped)
- Silseth had 3 plus pitches: Sinker, Cutter, Slider
I’m not implying that any of those guys should cut out the 4-seam altogether or significantly reduce their usage of it, because they do use that threat to enable their off-speed stuff. But golly gee willikers, the contrast is stark between the haves and have-nots.
![[Ward] Carlos Estévez and Yimi García are of similar value on the trade market as rental relievers who could profile in some high-leverage spots — return for García comes in upper-level fringe prospect and mid-level project bat which may be similar to return for Estévez](https://haloshub.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/minilogo.png "[Ward] Carlos Estévez and Yimi García are of similar value on the trade market as rental relievers who could profile in some high-leverage spots — return for García comes in upper-level fringe prospect and mid-level project bat which may be similar to return for Estévez")
