Johnny Slawinski walked his first two hitters of the year today for the AZL #Angels. Here’s what he’s done this year

27 IP
2.67 ERA
39 SO
2 BB

I know everyone is wanting another top 100 prospect, Slawinski is the one I’d be pushing.

1st time through the order: 1.95

[Jared Tims @Jared_Tims]

Well this is one of the wilder box scores I’ve ever seen…

DSL #Angels scores 10(all with 2 outs) in the bottom of the 9th to win.

[Jared Tims @Jared_Tims]

What’s the point if the challenge system if we still don’t get it right?

[Jared Tims @Jared_Tims]

As I post this, Wayne and Gubi are talking about it…

[Jared Tims @Jared_Tims]

You can actually see on his heat maps on his first 6 starts compared to his last 6 starts(not including tonight) that Soriano’s sinker is up quite a bit.

[Jared Tims @Jared_Tims]

Jose Soriano’s vertical movement by start on his sinker via FanGraphs. Higher arm slot=less drop

First 6 starts
3/26 2.4
3/31 1.5
4/6 1.9
4/12 1.4
4/17 1.4
4/22 1.0

Last 6 starts not including tonight
5/27 3.6
5/21 2.9
5/16 0.2
5/10 1.2
5/4 1.9
4/28 1.9
#Angels

[Jared Tims @Jared_Tims]

Jose Soriano’s arm angle on his sinker has averaged 30 degrees the entire year but has been pretty inconsistent of late

First 6 starts
3/26 34
3/31 31
4/6 28
4/12 29
4/17 28
4/22 28

Last 6 starts not including tonight
5/27 37
5/21 37
5/16 24
5/10 27
5/4 32
4/28 29
#Angels

[Jared Tims @Jared_Tims]

First 6 starts
H-Swing: 57.4%
C-Swing: 36.9%

Last 6 starts
H-Swing: 75%
C-swing: 23.1%

H-Swing=pitches in the heart of the plate swung at
C-Swing= pitches chased

[Jared Tims @Jared_Tims]

Jose Soriano thread. I looked at a few things but the biggest change was on his sinker.

The arm slot has been very inconsistent which is why we’re seeing his sinker flatten out and slot less teams are chasing

[Jared Tims @Jared_Tims]

Mike Trout is on pace for 38 HR’s and a 6.3 fWAR
