“Maybe just hab”
That’s a great line!
I actually would prefer Zumaya to work the 95-97 range rather then his usual 100+. His fastball has more movement and it’s harder to his a fastball with movement then a straight fastball. I think Matt Anderson taught us all that.
Also, he should use the change up more. Imagine if he broke that out on someone with 2 strikes? Major hook foul or they’d be way out front and K easier. Especially since his breaking ball has a tendency to get erratic. And it’s not like his change is no good; it was rated by Baseball America as the best in the organization after the 2005 season.
The only autograph that I got on a spring training trip to Florida was that of Joel Zumaya. It’s on the bill of my golf cap, and I treasure it. Zumaya has a chance to be a very special pitcher–one I love watching pitch. He’s an intense competitor. He has a great workout routine (including yoga as taught by Alan Jaeger), and he’s an intelligent guy. He just needs to learn and mature, like every young pitcher.
