The White Sox almost signed that meatball throwing pitcher for $125 million two years ago....how soon they forget.

 

He's got a very solid ERA. Sometimes, movement and location are MUCH more important than velocity. The Yankees should know, Eovaldi and Pineda both can throw hard but no idea where it's going usually.

And they both get rocked.

Yeah his career ERA (hasn't pitched very long) is solid... he just looks so hitable...

Tanaka, fwiw, is mostly known for his sinker.

 

And movement.

 

He's never been a high high velocity pitcher. It's one of the main reasons teams were scared off. They wanted another Darvish.

There was concern that somehow 93ish would go to low 90's/high 80's (and it did, when he was really scuffling with all those elbow problems). But he's managed to be surprisingly (and quietly) effective when healthy. Doesn't blow your socks off like the Mets' staff, that's for sure.

 

But you can say the same thing for the way Sabathia pitches today, compared to 2007.

to get shut out by that meatball throwing pitcher was pretty embarrassing.

It was embarrassing like you said. He was nothing special. Our hitters reeked.
