Chris Viall

In his second start of the 2018 season, Viall set a professional career high by striking out eleven batters. He did walk four and hit a batter, but that’s the thing with Viall: He is 6’9”, and tall pitchers are known for having issues with their mechanics. In Viall’s case, there are a bunch of things that I’ve noticed about his mechanics, most of which have to do with balance.
