"I'm not a big guy."
Shae Simmons is on the mark with that. At 5'8, Toronto's Marcus Stroman is the only player shorter than the 5'9 Simmons to have thrown a pitch this season. And yet, as many Mariners fans saw for the first time yesterday, MLB hitters have plenty to fear from the compact reliever. Two strikeouts and a lone single allowed in a scoreless ninth inning of a blowout win are nice, but Simmons has more to give to the team. Nearly every pitch from the sinkerballer was at the top of the zone, where his repertoire is weakest.
