Two weeks ago, near the beginning of what has proven to be a tough stretch of outings, Orioles reliever Dylan Bundy said that he felt like his stuff was improving as his results were going the other direction. That has largely been true, with his fastball creeping into the mid 90s and his average velocity increasing as the year goes on.
Even so, after Bundy allowed a pair of runs on five hits in 2 2/3 innings of relief to jump his ERA to 4.94 on the season, manager Buck Showalter noted that Bundy isn’t exactly coming to the mound at the highest level with all his weapons at his disposal.
