New Arms of the Week: Last of August


Closing out August, and adding a day to the "week", we have four rookie pitchers who debuted in the final week of August.

Here's what they've thrown so far, with the best pitch classifications I can muster with limited samples.

Rookie Pitch # vs LHH vs RHH MPH PFX_X PFX_Z
Armando Gabino Change 9 8 1 83.6 -7.6 6.7
Armando Gabino Sinker 14 11 3 92.1 -8.4 5.4
Armando Gabino Fastball 23 18 5 92.1 -6.3 8.4
Armando Gabino Slider 11 3 8 85.3 1.3 3.4
Daniel McCutchen Change 32 10 22 82.7 -5.6 4.7
Daniel McCutchen Curveball 4 0 4 75.5 3.0 -0.8
Daniel McCutchen Fastball 59 15 44 91.9 -5.5 10.6
Daniel McCutchen Slider 6 0 6 82.6 1.8 2.9
Pedro Strop Fastball 38 15 23 95.0 -3.0 10.5
Pedro Strop Splitter 6 3 3 85.4 -3.2 1.2
Pedro Strop Slider 9 5 4 84.2 0.6 1.0
Wilton Lopez Sinker 39 30 9 91.2 -7.8 3.5
Wilton Lopez Fastball 23 4 19 92.6 -3.9 7.6
Wilton Lopez Splitter 10 9 1 82.1 -5.0 2.4
Wilton Lopez Slider 20 5 15 82.6 2.6 0.9

 

September should be busy, with lots of call-ups. Once the season is over, I'll recap all the rookies and even the position players.

Oh Pedro Strop

I kind of miss you sort of even though there’s no room for you

Mike McCoy Status: BETTER BE A SEPT CALLUP
Seth Smith Status: Part of a Good Problem
