He's had two real good games now. He sprays it around and every once in a while he'll pull one like he did today. The biggest problem is getting him to swing, which he's starting to do part of the time now.

arm ball chart checked few gets hit pitching plate quite strikes threw throws walked
Kline pitched well. He threw the ball over the plate and only walked two batters. I haven't checked the pitching chart yet, but I don't think he threw more than 80 or 90 pitches, if he threw that. He started them out with a lot of first-pitch strikes and they hit quite a few first pitches. When he throws from the same arm slot, he gets the ball over.
