After struggling throughout most of Spring Training with the long ball, Luke Weaver had one last opportunity to show he belongs in the rotation for 2021. It was more of the same and his MLB status going into the regular season is now in serious doubt.
Prior to today’s game, Weaver had allowed 5 homers in his 9.1 innings. And while he had done an excellent job of limiting walks (1BB) and striking guys out (9), if Luke is going to turn the corner he’s going to need to start limiting homers or he’ll find himself in a bullpen sooner rather than later.
