LOS ANGELES – There could be a time, and very shortly, that Robbie Ray, a left-handed pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks, moves up in the pitching rotation.
With a dominant fast ball and improving secondary pitches, Ray has both the confidence and demeanor to craft his skill. Already among the top strikeout pitchers in the National League, Ray took another step forward Wednesday night.
Holding the Los Angeles Dodgers to three runs on only two hits, Ray showed the kind of pitcher destined for success. Before he reaches that point, the main objective is to lower his pitch count, and that needs to be addressed.
