Breaking Down A's Lucas Erceg - Pitch Mix, Mechanics, and Control

Hopefully a quick / successful rehab for Aranda with Yandy Díaz potentially missing time now (pinky).

No 1B depth otherwise - Austin Shenton and Dom Smith (AAA) the only options

Quick Breakdown of Pirates Jared Jones and his pitch mix:

Until next time

Just a little outside …

Rays’ offense looks so much better tonight - situational hitting & doing the little things right

Orioles and Yankees lead the AL East but have very different results against hard pitches so far:

Orioles lead MLB with a .499 xSLG against - and Yankees rank last with a .359 xSLG.

First time watching A’s Lucas Erceg and wow he’s got nasty stuff.

Was not expecting the 100mph sinker - then he follows it up with a 93mph changeup with plus horizontal movement (video). Slider was well located and getting chases & misses too.
