Left-hander Robbie Ray of the Arizona Diamondbacks, continues to puzzle and mystify. The most maddening aspect of this scenario remains Ray’s inconsistency.
Here’s a pitcher with a plethora of physical tools. His fast ball runs in the mid-90s, his confidence is strong and his ability over-power hitters is evident. Manager Chip Hale insists if Ray ever harnessed his energy and ability, the lefty could enjoy an unlimited destiny.
If there is one element of his game clearly not under control remains Ray’s pitch count. While he consistency tells reporters “I feel fine,” there is apparently nothing wrong with his physical abilities.
