His Four Seam Fastball has an above average velocity difference from his Curveball, which is helpful in the art of pitching. He throws a softer slider than the average pitcher, his slider velocity is only 79.5 miles per hour.
Andrew Kittredge
He throws an above-average Fastball in velocity and he throws it on average 95.3 miles per hour. We are not able to compare his Four Seam Fastball to his Changeup because he does not feature both pitches in his repertoire.

He does not feature a slider or he does not throw it enough to qualify.
Now onto the News, Rumors, and Commentary…
““I thought we pitched really, really well to them, so [I’m] encouraged by that,” Cash said. And they know as well as the Rays that, if they advance that far, the AL East rivals will meet again in the AL Division Series. Yankees • Standings update: Clinched first place in the AL East last Saturday • Home-field advantage: Clinched for AL Division Series and AL Championship Series on Wednesday There are more tests ahead, starting this weekend. “He said he felt really good, no issues, so that’s just a huge sign for us.” Before the game, Wisler said he has managed the issue by throwing sliders only in games or on his days off.”
” Franco reached first base two other times, but neither counted toward his streak. Franco appeared to have kept the streak alive in the sixth inning, when he was called safe at first base on an infield single. And Ted Williams strung together a 44-game on-base streak in ’41, a mark Franco fell one short of. Franco reached on a fielder’s choice, although Randy Arozarena wound up safe at second as Altuve committed an error on the play.”
“Tier 5: The solid veteran arms who will make some noise Aaron Bummer, LHP, CWS Kendall Graveman, RHP, HOU Chad Green, RHP, NYY Andrew Kittredge, RHP, TB If you didn’t already know Bummer, you should; if you look at the ground-ball rate leaders since 2018, he’s second behind only Britton. Tier 3: The big names with question marks Aroldis Chapman, LHP, NYY Craig Kimbrel, RHP, CWS Matt Barnes, RHP, BOS Will Smith, LHP, ATL Chapman has had one of the most wild seasons we can remember. Luis Severino, RHP, NYY Garrett Richards, RHP, BOS Collin McHugh, RHP, TB Reynaldo López, RHP, CWS Yes, another Yankee, we’re sorry, but don’t forget that Severino finished in the top 10 in Cy Young voting in both 2017 and ‘18 before shoulder and elbow injuries ruined his next two seasons. Score another one for the Dodger pitching machine; fueled by a fastball with elite rising action, Vesia has become a high-leverage lefty, particularly since the Trade Deadline, as he’s allowed two earned runs in 22 outings, whiffing 27.”
“AMERICAN LEAGUE CENTRAL Indians Twins Louie Varland, RHP (No. AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST Blue Jays Zach Logue, RHP: The 2017 ninth-rounder played his way into Top 30 consideration with a 3.75 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 136 strikeouts (most among Toronto farmhands) over 120 innings at Double-A and Triple-A. Marlins Mets Nationals Phillies NATIONAL LEAGUE CENTRAL Brewers Cardinals Cubs Pirates Reds NATIONAL LEAGUE WEST D-backs Dodgers Gavin Stone, RHP (No. 29): It’s really a question of what the 2019 15th-round pick didn’t lead the organization in while splitting the year between two levels of A ball, topping Twins pitching prospects in ERA (2.09), strikeouts (142), strikeout percentage (33.7) and WHIP (1.09) to go along with a stingy .212 BAA.”

“It’s a credit to just the amount of quality pitchers that we know that we can rely on in different save situations,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “It’s a credit to all those guys. Our front office organization has done such a good job of developing and acquiring guys that we have confidence to throw out there in those roles. • Rays Stat of the Day, August 2021 Tampa Bay wasted no time after clinching a spot in the postseason on Wednesday; it also won Friday and Saturday to record its first three-game winning streak since claiming nine straight from Aug.”
“When does the postseason begin? The AL Wild Card Game is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 11 and Game 5 (if necessary) on Oct. The Rays now know for certain they will face the winner of the AL Wild Card Game in the AL Division Series, then have home-field advantage until the World Series. 15, and World Series Game 1 is scheduled for Oct.”
