SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — One thing’s for sure: Jon Gray doesn’t grade on the curve — especially when it comes to his own performance.
Wednesday, after tossing four scoreless innings against the Angels, striking out five and walking none, the Rockies’ right-hander offered up a critical assessment: “My B-minus, C-plus stuff.”
Hmm. Considering that Gray whiffed batters using a 95 mph fastball, a 90 mph slider and a 75 mph curveball, the grade seems a tad low. But Gray explained that he came out firing across his body with his fastball and slider and wasn’t able to fix it until the second inning.
