Okay okay okay, we're going to talk about Luis Severino after he went 7.0 IP, 0 ER, 3 Hits, 2 BBs, 6 Ks against the Red Sox tonight. After facing a pair of poor teams back-to-back in the Rays and White Sox, I was skeptical that he'll be able to continue the trend against a legitimate offense in Boston. Clearly, he passes the test and I'm on board, of course. I'm aiming to do a GIF Breakdown of this start tomorrow (Ervin Santana's is coming out in the early morning) as I finally have the time to start doing those again - in fact, I'm aiming to do 2-3 of them per week now - and I'll dive into what changes Severino has made to elevate him to the man before us. Is it because of the Slider? You're damn right it is, but there's more than that. I also still have my concerns about his Changeup and wonder if it will be his ultimate downfall, or if he'll nail that pitch and keep his Fastball command at a high level to take the league by storm on the back of his slide piece. I'll go over it all tomorrow but in the mean time get pumped and hold on tight. If someone's buying, it best be for a significant improvement on your team.
Let’s see how every other SP did yesterday:
