One thing that I noticed about Jackson this season, is that he lacks an "out pitch." all of his secondary pitches are able to be fouled off very easily by hitters. He does not have great stuff. he just throws hard.

 

Yep, which is odd considering his great performance in our home opener.

Can't remember if he had a sharp breaking curve or other pitch that seemed to fall off the table before

IT's not all that odd. He's a fastball/slider guy. Think Sergio Santos.

 

If that fastball and slider are both well located in a game, then he will come out as basically unhittable. He will destroy people.

 

However, if he's missing either of those 2 pitches, either in control or in break, then he'll be a 1 pitch pitcher. That 1 pitch can still be a solid pitch, a 96 mph fastball can get you a long way through a game, but he won't dominate.

If you seriously are unhappy with 6 innings 2 runs out of your starting pitcher, and say that you wont miss him after a start like that, I dont even know how anyone can take the post seriously.

 

"Quality Start"
