Corey Kluber had ... an interesting day on the mound. His first two innings were excellent, such that Peter texted me at the beginning of the third saying “Night and day between this start and Kluber’s last.” Klubot then struggled in the third, so you can all blame Peter.
What’s encouraging about Kluber so far this spring is the movement and comfort on his fastball. He’s getting on in age and has pitched so little since 2018 that I was concerned about velocity, but through spring and including today, he’s sat around 91.5-92 with his fastball. That’s only about one mph less than Peak Kluber, who lived at 93.
