The Launch Angle

For Astros fans who want more than the box score.

Sigh.

Spencer Arrighetti's 2Ks in the 3rd

Really good analysis in here about what's going on with Burrows. 9 degrees lower of an arm angle is a major change and even if shapes stay the same, pitches behave differently. Don't know if the Astros lab tried to concoct more VAA from his FB, don't like it one bit.

Why, Bryan? Why?

Does Mike Burrows have one of the worst four-seamers in baseball at this moment?

Yes, he does.

[Astros Stats 📉 @astro_numbers]

Home runs allowed by Mike Burrows: 15.

4-seam - 9
Changeup - 1
Slider - 3
Curveball - 1
Sinker - 1

Only 3 pitchers have allowed 9 home runs on their 4-seam this season entering Tuesday. It’ll now be at least 4 with Burrows now joining the group.
