Ohtani Fangraphs Article

[Revad]

Jay Jaffe has a new article out on Ohtani.

“Ohtani’s sweeper is a great pitch, perhaps the best of its kind in the game, but lately he’s made a few mistakes with it, and he hasn’t gotten away with them. It’s not that he’s over-reliant on the pitch, I don’t think — he threw just 26.5% sweepers against the Orioles on Monday, where he threw 53.6% sweepers on May 3 against the Cardinals, when he struck out 13 while allowing four runs in five innings — it’s just that he’s not executing it as well.”

No mention of his calling his own pitches.

If he can’t execute the pitch, he shouldn’t be throwing it much— and is therefore over-reliant on it.

Isn't it amazing how we can talk about baseball and baseball is like, something that we think about, while thinking about it, it is so interesting to think about?
