He is in the perfect park for his swing.  Dude used to hit moon shots in the minors.

FB velocity.  Lost 2 MPH on his FB, made it easier to lay off the cutter.   His FB set everything up.  Early in his career when he couldn't command it he sucked.  Learned to command it and bam!  But that one pitch set up everything he did.

Newcomb is earning $900K this season after avoiding arbitration this past offseason. He’s still owed about $842K of that sum for the remainder of the season, and any team that claims him or acquires him via trade would be on the hook for the remainder of that sum. If a new team is able to help Newcomb right the ship, however, he’d be controllable through the 2024 season via arbitration. Given that his salary is only $200K north of the new league minimum, it’s certainly possible that another club will look to help get the once-successful southpaw back on track. The Braves will have a week to trade Newcomb, attempt to pass him through waivers or release him. If he’s released, the new signing team would only owe him the prorated league minimum for any time spent on the big league roster.

We could really use a guy that can't throw strikes.

Cobb took a 3 run lead into the 5th inning vs the Mets. 

He was replaced after getting 1 out and giving up 3 runs. 

His ERA is now 4.82
