The Astros tweaked his arm slot, dropping it from 54 to 49 degrees, which made his fastball appear to rise, fooling hitters into swinging under it. His run value flipped from negative to positive, and strikeouts on the pitch nearly doubled. He’s also mastered a sinker-changeup combo that look identical but differ in speed, forcing hitters to guess. Once struggling for a spot, he’s now a reliable rotation arm, inducing weaker contact on out-of-zone pitches and refining his arsenal with a new cutter and slider. What began as a low-risk signing has become a major-league weapon—built on smart mechanics, not muscle. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
