Jeremiah Estrada is unhittable right now.
San Diego's We know that because people keep swinging and they are literally not hitting his pitches. Estrada has struck out anrecord 13 consecutive batters over his last three appearances. All 13 have gone down swinging. His latest secured a Padres win over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday night.
Estrada faced three batters and threw 12 pitches. Ten of them were strikes. Only five those were even fouled off. While Estrada's on a particularly hot heater right now, he's been cooking all year. He has made 12 total appearances, striking out 28 batters in 16.1 innings. He's given up just five hits and one run and only one person has a hit off him in his last five appearances.
13 straight strikeouts is unreal, an MLB record…but having every single one of those batters go down swinging is a once in a lifetime event. Utter dominance from Jeremiah EstradaSo where did Estrada come from? The California native was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in 2017 and spent seven unremarkable seasons in the Cubs' system before the Padres claimed him off waivers back in November.
