I hate writing about trends this early in the season. The Dodgers have played eight baseball games. Only one of their starting pitchers has gone more than twice, several have only gone once. Every statistical point in early April needs to be qualified and caveated, and most don’t last. Still, we need stuff to talk about that isn’t Kenley Jansen‘s velocity or the Dodger offense being terrible, so here is an early season statistical point: The Dodgers are throwing fewer fastballs as a team, at least so far.
There are several pitchers who can be talked about in great length with more sample size.
