Chaz Roe has one of the most exciting sliders in all of baseball. With an average spin rate of over 2,800 RPM, Roe’s sliders have real zip to them.
I’ve embarked on a journey to look for Roe’s best sliders from the 2018 season and find out which one was his best.
Using a combination of sources such as Baseball Savant, Brooks Baseball and MLB.tv, every Chaz Roe slider from 2018 has been narrowed down to a quality top five, with one winner from the finalists.
