Pérez’s Quick Delivery Quietly Changes Game | MLB News

Eury Pérez is dominating on the mound with a 1.80 ERA in his last 10 starts, but his real breakthrough? He’s finally locking down baserunners. Standing at 6’8”, his long frame used to slow him down—leading to 25 stolen bases allowed this season. But by speeding up his delivery, he’s kept runners in check without sacrificing his stuff. His catcher snagged a risky steal attempt from Elly De La Cruz, who’d already swiped against him earlier. Despite humid conditions that led to five walks and some shaky breaking balls, Pérez’s sinker-heavy approach is generating ground balls and shutting down the run game. The result? A more complete pitcher still throwing 100+ mph fastballs and getting strikeouts with all his pitches. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
