Hunter Dobbins has room to grow

Hunter Dobbins is the latest and greatest Red Sox prospect in the new and improved pitching pipeline. He’s made two spot-starts thus far, pitching eleven innings and allowing just three runs. Most recently, he threw six innings of one-run baseball against the White Sox on Friday night. I’m not super tuned into the prospect scene, so I wanted to look at how Dobbins looked in a major league setting.

In his start against the White Sox, Dobbins used his fastball 53% of the time. His command of the pitch was only okay. If you look at the pitch chart, there’s a lot over the middle of the plate.
