In his third season in the majors last summer, Austin Voth, 28, struggled with his mechanics, and decreased velocity, but pushed through 11 starts (in which he had a 6.34 ERA, a 6.11 FIP, 3.26 BB/9, 7.97 K/9, and a .281/.351/.571 line against in 49 2⁄3 innings pitched) and impressed his manager with his moxy.
“He struggled last year a little bit with his mechanics,” Davey Martinez told reporters when the fourth-year skipper spoke before the Grapefruit League opener this past Sunday.
