Man on 1B / 0 outs King sits and #9 So RHP McNeillie comes in (4.42, 2-0, 18.1 IP) Kc - Phelps pops out to left
This is the first outing that I have seen King struggle with command. He was out of sinc (to my eyes anyway) with his changeup. It’s the only time I have seen him slow his arm speed down throwing it. That’s a sure sign of trying to guide the pitch instead of trusting the arm speed and release. I’ve got to wonder if moving his start up a day three starts in a row affected his routine to the point of lack of timing. Hopefully the misfire has nothing to do with his health.
Yep, and Lawson - who made that error might well be our SS next year. Was very highly ranked SS coming out of HS. He is going to be good for the Gators for a while
