We aren't getting an all star pitcher. I could absolutely see him as part of a package. Maybe they want him to work with the coaches nowthat they think he is healthy and ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 According to Statcast Dunning's curveball has below avg spin rates. Damn that's too bad. It looked pretty good to me but apparently it sucks. Oh well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn that's too bad. It looked pretty good to me but apparently it sucks. Oh well. That’s surprising. I thought it looked good too. Definitely a small sample size for a guy coming off TJ. I’d bet it at least gets to around average once he gets for innings and brushes the rust off. I don’t recall ever seeing any reports that any of his pitches were below average.

He could also control it very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were supposed to prefer a high spin rate, then a low spin rate, and then average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) https://theathletic.com/2012125/2020/08/21/law-scouting-notes-on-a-great-rookie-pitching-matchup/?source=dailyemail Mize vs. Dunning scouting notes (KLaw) Dunning was 91-94 mph and located it very well down and away to right-handers, and showed a plus changeup early with good tumble at 85-87 mph. He didn’t have much feeling for his breaking ball in the first inning, but it improved as he went along, and he started getting it down for chases — down and in to lefties, down and away to righties — until he started the third time through the order and left one up to Jeimer Candelario, who hit a three-run homer that ended Dunning’s day. Dunning was also really hurt by his defense; Zack Collins, a below-average receiver, was catching and had trouble with Dunning’s breaking stuff, while several fielders behind Dunning didn’t get to balls they probably should have. I thought Dunning could be a league-average starter before he got hurt, and after this — the first time I’ve seen him pitch in any form since the injury — I don’t see any reason to change that projection. Why are his FB and change not the Hawk Harrelson “ideally 10-12 MPH of differential”? Just curious. Thought his FB velocity was supposedly closer to 93-95, touching 96...?

oldsox Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Dunning due to be back on Sunday the 30th. Hope so. If so, another pitcher has to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
