For right-hander Zack Godley of the Arizona Diamondbacks to be effective, he needs to keep the low. Clearly, that’s the mantra of all pitchers, but Godley’s signature pitch is the sinker.
Before his start Wednesday night at home against the Detroit Tigers, Godley told Venom Strikes that once he reaches a comfort level, then he can refine and hit particular quadrants. That was certainly the case Wednesday as Godley was a master at keeping the ball down in the strike zone. In gaining a 7-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers before 18,897 in Chase Field. Godley showed strong pitch economy, but also that penchant for keeping the away from hitters.
