Joe Kelly’s tenure on the Los Angeles Dodgers got off to a rocky start, struggling to command his electric mix of a fastball that can touch 100 mph and his breaking pitches.
“Early on I was more changeup-usage, I would say. I couldn’t get the fastball where I wanted it, let alone get it over the plate,” Kelly said.
When Kelly did get his fastball over the plate, it usually wound up being a gift to hitters in the middle of the strike zone, according to pitch tracking data on FanGraphs.com.
