Erick Fedde struck out a career-high ten batters when he faced the Miami Marlins down in Florida back on August 24th, holding the home team in loanDepot park to a run on six hits and a walk in a 6 1⁄3-inning, 103-pitch outing for the 28-year-old, 2014 1st Round pick.
“I think the pregame talk was it was a very aggressive team,” Fedde explained after a 5-1 win for the Washington Nationals in that game, “... and being able to land breaking balls and cutters early in the count, I think got me into a lot of 0-2, 1-2 counts, where I could go after the punchouts and I think just landing those early in the counts was working well for me.
