...but when it comes to projecting him going forward, the underlying data reveals that there’s still a lot of work to be done.

Shota Imanaga threw 9 sweepers against the Dodgers today (13% of his total pitches).

Last season, he was around 7.5%, so a little more than usual.

Curious if that was a matchup thing, or something we'll see more often this year.

I'll always admire how vocal Seiya Suzuki is (to his teammates on base) about where the ball is when it goes in the dirt.

It screams "this was drilled into him by some coach early on in his career"
