He became a completely different pitcher in five days.
Los Angeles Dodgers starter Jack Flattie started Game 5 of the Championship Series against the New York Mets at Citi Field in New York, New York on the 19th (Korea time) and allowed eight hits, one homer, four walks, and eight runs in three innings.
Compared to how he pitched seven scoreless innings in the first game of the series just five days ago, his performance has completely changed. It was doubtful whether he was the same pitcher.
His pitching was also bad. He relied heavily on three pitches: knuckle curve (40 percent), four-seam fastball (35 percent), and slider (19 percent), all of which allowed strong batting speeds of 100 miles or faster.
Out of 31 swings, there were only two swings and misses. All of them were sliders.
The fastball reached a maximum speed of 93.9 miles, but the average was only 91.4 miles, 1.9 miles lower than the season average.
The Mets did not have a hard time targeting him. Ten of his 17 pitches were well-hit balls with a batting speed of 95 miles or higher. 먹튀검증
There were some balls that the opponent team’s batter played well. Pete Alonso, who hit a three-run homer with runners on the first and second bases with one out in the first inning, scooped up a curveball that fell below the strike zone to hit the homer. Few batters can hit such a ball over the central fence.
He also helped defense in the second inning. He sent out leadoff hitter Francisco Alvarez to a double, and allowed all three subsequent hitters to hit fly balls, but tied the runner’s feet. Brandon Nimmo’s fly ball was caught by center fielder Andy Parz and threw it home in a no-bound manner, preventing the batter from losing a point.
However, there was no excuse for the third inning. The worst scenes came out. He walked the first two batters and allowed Starling Marte to double to left field.
Afterwards, he allowed two outs, but started with Alvarez’s hit to the left, Francisco Lindor allowed a triple to right field and Nemo to hit to right field, increasing the damage again. He allowed five runs in the third inning alone.
The Dodgers bench, which tried to give him a little more innings, eventually put Brent Honeywell on the mound from the fourth inning as the number of pitches reached 75 by the third inning.
