The Seattle Mariners' lost 5-4 to the Texas Rangers on Thursday and struck out 16 times in the process; Seven of those strikeouts came against Texas rookie Kumar Rocker, who was making his major league debut.
SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners didn't start their series against the Texas Rangers on a positive note.
One Mariners fan in the audience at T-Mobile Park loudly exclaimed when the home team was at the plate: "He only has two pitches — fastball and slider." But what that fan failed to mention was Rocker's slider had incredible movement that generated unreal swings-and-misses. According to Rob Friedman, AKA Pitching Ninja, Rocker's slider generated 13 swings-and-misses. Rocker had a 40.5% whiff rate on the day according toThe movement on the slider took the pitch out of the zone several times, but that also didn't seem to matter. He had a 45.2% chase rate, also according to Baseball Savant.
