Roth has earned it. He isn't typical because he uses two different release points, but he locates and changed speeds well enough to protect his high 80's fastball.
He's a completely different pitcher from last year, choosing to pitch to contact rather than be something he's not and try to miss bats. He's generating a ton of off balanced swings, weak contact and ground balls.
He uses two different fastballs shout seamer in the high80's or low 90's, a diving two seamer when released sidearm that's in the mid to high 80's, a looping curve, sharper slider and a good change up.
Hitters in AA have been forced to play the guessing game and even when they guess right, Roth is still winning. The Angels need him the most right now.
Fangraphs has his fastball at 84.6, not sure about the high 80's or low 90's. FIP at AA 4.03.

I see Rucinski got another no decision on Friday, that's 5 blown saves and 1 no decision due to a 0-0 score. His record could easily be 12-4 vs 7-4. Great season so far.

I believe Rucinski throws a 4 seamer, a slider, a change up, and a splitter. I just read somewhere that he is using the splitter later in games as an out pitch. I will try to find the comments and post. I dont think he throws a 2 seamer or a cutter. Phil Elson should know.
