2018 Alex Cobb (Late edition)

[OFFNY]

o

 

83% of the outs that Cobb recorded (15 out of 18) came via the Groundout and the Strikeout.

He reminded me just a bit of Tommy John when he pitched for the Yankees in the late 70's and early 80's. 

In one game against the Orioles in April of 1979, 18 out of the 27 outs that he recorded in came via the Groundout.

Still not mising bats, that is concerning. His career K% is 19.3, which is solid. He's at 6.4% right now. His career swinging strike rate is 8.4%, it's currently 4.3.

Last night in his "good start", he had a 7.4% k rate, and 2.3% swinging strike rate.

That needs major improvement or it's going to be a long season.
