Last night, George Kirby struck out Jackson Holliday on an absolutely fantastic slider down and in.
Before that, he threw a splitter down and away that ran outside the zone (Holliday fouled it off).
Here are those pitches overlaid.

This Sugano splitter was SO SO nasty.
29 inches of drop.
13 inches of horizontal.
Just a gorgeous pitch.

- Stands MUCH further back in the box (3rd greatest depth among right handed hitters)
- Slowed his swing down
- Drastically opened up his stance

No Statcast for this game but safe to say Jorge Soler hit this ball 750 feet?

Interesting to see the lack of flexibility in terms of options for the Dodgers pitching staff. Curious to see if one of those relievers gets moved allowing them for more wiggle room? Or maybe they don't mind considering there will likely be injuries?
