Koch isn't bad, he is just pitching bad.

 

his fastball has gone from 96-98 to 92-94 and his control has been bad.

 

he'll be okay

i have to disagree...koch isnt good..he's never been good...he's been average most of his career...one good season..two average seasons and a bad season...average..

 

compare his career stats to the other closers in baseball...k/per 9 innings , WHIP , era , even save pct , he is no where near the top...he's an average closer having a bad year..thank god for marte and flash cause we are gonna need them

Speed's not his problem. Using a radar gun to determine a pitcher's ability is utterly ridiculous. Billy's problem is he throws very straight. Whether or not your chuckin' it 100+ MPH or 90-92, if you have no movement on your pitches someone is going to turn on you.

Amen, Baggs once again. Koch has always thrown a straight fastball, but with any drop in velocity he sucks worse than ever and despite his great off field attitude he doesn't seem to bear down on the bump when really needed and looks shaky a lot(look really closely people). Once again I'll say may he proove me wrong and not just have people promise better times.

All those numbers are nice, but the one that matters most on there is save percentage, and it's at 84% thus far. Give him some time and I think he'll be fine, it's only April
