Ty Chaney came in w/o a slider & a cut fastball at 55mph. With changes to his grips, mechanics & his hard work the results are starting to show. His FB sat 60mph+ plus in a touch up pen w/an average spin efficiency of 95. He now has 3 strikeout pitches added to his arsenal.
Nasty changeup ⬇️ 🔥
Most important pitch characteristic when it comes to an elite changeup?
1. Velo difference ❌
2. Horizontal movement ❌
3. Vertical movement (drop) ✅✅
Not to say the first 2 don’t matter, but the data shows the more ⬇️ you get the more whiffs you get!
Are you pitching to your strengths? 🧐

#Uncommitted ‘23 RHP Ryan Strachan (@TEAMELITENATION) making it look like a walk in the park. Loose and easy out front, little to no effort. Commanding zone.
