fast good hit side sign split start stayed threw
I hit that one good. He threw me a good split to start me off with. The encouraging side is I stayed back and went more off-speed conscious, and just kind of reacted to the fast ball. It's a good sign for me.
ball hitting low stayed threw today velocity watching
He threw the ball well, man. He was hitting his spots, and he had his velocity back, too. Watching some of his starts, he's been in the low 90s, and today he stayed around 94 and 95.
