Marcus Stroman believes he’s figured out some mechanical issues that may have caused his recent downturn on the mound.
Marcus Stroman believes he’s figured out some mechanical issues that may have caused his recent downturn on the mound, which set the table for the right-hander’s two worst starts of the season. in The Bronx. “It was good timing, the way everything played out for a little breather before my next start.”Tuesday’s rainout allowed Carlos Rodon to take Friday’s start, with Gerrit Cole to start Saturday and Stroman sliding back two days.
Stroman said he’s only really struggled for the previous two starts, but his issues go back considerably longer. “I guess it’s been pretty frustrating,” Stroman said of the recent stretch. “But I’m also a realist. I put my season as a whole and see how good I’ve been in certain spurts. I know it hasn’t been 10 starts in a row where I’ve been off. It’s been a few.”
This time, Stroman has gone six straight outings without getting through six innings and his fastball velocity has dipped of late. “It’s not really a concern,” Stroman said. “If I’m making my pitches, I’m not concerned about my velocity. It’s more about location for me and action. Those are the things I’m looking for.” The added bullpen session was designed to get Stroman’s delivery to be “more repetitive,” something he said he’s dealt with before.
