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.

Really nice start from Sugano:

17 total whiffs - most for an Oriole starter this year
9 splitter whiffs - tied for 2nd most by an SP so far this year

Here are all 8 Ks

This Sugano splitter was SO SO nasty.

29 inches of drop.
13 inches of horizontal.

Just a gorgeous pitch.

Look at the swing Ogasawara just got out of Soto on his 69 mph CB.

Sandy Alcantara dots the corner with an 100 mph FB for the strikeout (the ball call was overturned via ABS)

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

Singer has now struck out 4 Dodgers. 3 on breaking pitches. 6 whiffs total.

Meet your new breaker, New York

It is absolutely insane that a 44 year old Rich Hill was able to get this much movement on his sweeper last year.

2 feet of horizontal.

The strikeout with the most glove-side movement in 2024 came from Garrett Cleavinger
