Paul Skenes Says the WBC May Have Contributed to His Down Year...

Former MLB reliever Adam Ottavino joins the show to discuss Paul Skenes questioning whether pitching in the World Baseball Classic contributed to his drop in velocity this season. Ottavino, who pitched in three WBCs, explains why he believes Skenes’ struggles have more to do with his delivery and execution and why blaming the tournament can become an easy excuse when players struggle afterward. He also discusses whether pitchers with major contracts on the line could begin thinking twice about participating and pitches an alternative WBC format that would move the knockout rounds to midseason. Plus, Ottavino breaks down how pitchers adjust their arsenals and tendencies to keep hitters from sitting on their best pitches.
