Anthony DeSclafani has spent the last 17 months in elbow hell. Since September 28th of 2016, he’d not donned a Cincinnati Reds uniform and taken a big league mound, not even in Cactus League play last year. That changed on Tuesday, as Disco got the start against the Milwaukee Brewers for his 2018 debut, and he looked quite good in the process.
Disco threw 27 pitches and allowed only a pair of baserunners in 2 IP, both of which came on bloop, jam-shot hits into shallow LF by left-handed hitters. He allowed neither to score, though, and fanned a pair while issue no walks, and appeared to be locating his fastball quite well, particularly on his glove side.
