## Resource

Hunter Brown’s return to the mound for the Astros feels like a shadow of his Cy Young-caliber self—physically healthy but missing the command that once made him unhittable. After a rough outing against Baltimore where he surrendered five runs in just five innings, the numbers tell a clear story: his walk rate has nearly doubled, hitters are swinging at fewer pitches outside the zone (his lowest ever), and his strikeout-to-walk ratio has plummeted. Even with his velocity and movement intact, it’s his pinpoint accuracy that’s gone missing—and without it, the Astros are left waiting for the dominant pitcher to come back.
