A pretty uneventful game on Friday night with not much to glow about for either squad as the offenses were pretty dormant other than some early inning runs.
What I liked – I liked Yunior Marte‘s arm as he was able to hold 91-94 mph velocity with his four seam fastball during his 4 innings of work. The fastball is a bit stiff and straight but the arm works well and he shows a good feel for his 88-89 mph two seam fastball and a slurvy upper 70’s slider. On this night Marte only threw a pair of change ups but they featured plenty of fade in the mid 80’s range but he lacks conviction with the pitch.
