His line in his Mets debut:

5.2IP 4H 2ER 2BB 4K on 87 pitches

The solo home run he gave up to Jeremy Peña in the 5th inning was only a HR in 6/30 ballparks.

A couple notables; He threw his slider over half the time at 54% (only threw it 24% of the time last season) and his spin rate ticked up from last year by over 100 rpm, as did his fastball. Only one of his 23 fastballs was put in play at an 85mph exit velo. Last season, his fastball was his worst pitch by far and got demolished (.522 xSLG).

Will Canning be another example of the Angels being unable to get the most out of their pitchers?
