MILWAUKEE — A week ago, the bullpen behind the left-center field fence at Target Field transformed into Anthony DeSclafani’s personal pitching lab. Approached beforehand by pitching coach Andrew Bailey and a few other staffers from the Giants’ pitching department, they believed they had an answer to something for which DeSclafani had been searching for years.“It’s always been a pitch that’s been a pain in the butt for me,” DeSclafani said.
“The shape was pretty consistent to what they wanted,” DeSclafani said. “, it’s probably one of the reasons I was able to get through five innings and get some key strikeouts.” “It’s a little sharper,” Sabol said. “That was definitely something new for me to learn on the fly a little bit, the new shape of that curveball. … I was happy to see he was pretty confident throwing it a lot. I think moving forward that’s going to be a big pitch for him.”By all accounts, DeSclafani has returned to the sharp form he showed in 2021, putting an injury-plagued 2022 fully in the rearview mirror. He took a 3.
Count leverage is a popular term around these parts — for example, an 0-2 count for a pitcher — and DeSclafani was doing a great job at getting it. But once he got there, he’s not been taking advantage enough to put batters away. His strikeout rate of 19.2% is below his career average and one of the few metrics still short of his ’21 season.
