Yes, let's walk below average righty hitter Steve Pearce in to tie the game, and put JD Martinez up with bases loaded.
He actually has good stuff but that alone wont do it. I've said it a zillion times work high fastballs preferably mid to inner plate.
If you work high 95+ mph fastballs outside the batter can be late on you and get a little chinker to the outfield.
Work the high heat and develop a 12-6 sinker off that SAME HEIGHT....game over. High-low strategy is way better than inside-out.
If the batter is thinking sinker he will be way under the fastball and if he is thinking fastball he will be way over the sinker.
You will be a more effective pitcher if you do this and none other than John Smolz has been saying the same thing.
