A great look into Akin and his sequencing and command would be when he faced Sanchez last night. Strike three was a 94 mph FB perfectly placed on the inside corner, Sanchez didn’t move, just walked away.
His spin rates allow him to pitch in like that. And I’d gladly welcome a 92-94 range. Some of this is trusting his stuff. Of course, he needs more than a well located FB. But it’s a start.
