DirtySox Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Hope Bham gets to play. I feel we are due for a Mena start at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Nice start for Davis Martin so far. He's getting great results on the slider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Do we have velocity readings for Martin? Did he maintain his increase from last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down a bit on the slider as you can see, but velocity normally increases throughout the season. I would say yes. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/gamefeed?date=4/8/2023&gamePk=723832&chartType=pitch&legendType=pitchName&playerType=pitcher&inning=&count=&pitchHand=&batSide=&descFilter=&ptFilter=&resultFilter=&hf=playerBreakdown&sportId=11#723832 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 2 doubles, a walk & 4 RBI for Sosa But no flame emoij's for hard hit balls on his statcast page. He needs to pick it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Mena strikes out 2 but gives up a solo shot on the fastball in the 1st. He also looks thicker and got a haircut since last season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) Mena throwing some real nice looking sliders and changeups this inning. Strikes out the side. What a beast. 5Ks in 6 outs. Edited April 8, 2023 by DirtySox 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can top out a bit higher from what I saw last year. He's only 20 though. Maybe there is more in the tank? I don't know s%*# about projection. I'm just an amateur that likes watching prospects.

DirtySox Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Strikes out the side. 8Ks. Methinks Mena isn't going to fly under the radar much longer. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 A walk and a bloop single ends the night for Mena. Great first outing regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
