fastball foremost matt plus throws
Matt throws a plus slider, but the fastball is his foremost pitch.
couple curve hard hits innings left pitch throwing time
In most of his innings, he had a hard time getting his curve over for strikes. There were couple innings when his changeup left him as well. You'll give up some hits if you're throwing only one pitch for strikes. But the one thing you'll get from him is a battle.

Darrell couldn't throw strikes during the fall of his freshman year. We work so much with our pitchers in the fall on fastball command and his fastball is his No. 3 pitch.

Robbie is playing with a sense of urgency, making things happen. That is very pleasant to see. You have to root for Robbie because of the injuries he has had the last two years.
best difference outing slider
I thought it was his best outing all year. He has his slider back and he hadn't had it for weeks. That made all the difference in the world for him.
himself justin learned people stay trying within
Justin wasn't trying to overpower people and get strikeouts. He had to stay within himself and learned that.
