A back in my day meme. Talking about Roy Halladay and ground balls because he was still striking a lot of people out when he was at his best. He had over 200 ks in a season 5x which is a lot of strikeouts.

There's many ways to pitchers and while there's some merit to more pitcher's pitching to contact, shohei has 2 elite pitches in the fast ball and splitter. He's gonna get strikeouts. And as much as you bytch about the other pitcher's on your team that cant get consistent outs or hitters not doing shyt, you got a guy on your team who is a top 5 hitter and a top 20 pitcher when healthy. Even when he sucks, the value hes brining is unheard of. He's too explosive to pitch to contact and become a slap singles hitter. Gotta let the big dogs eat
Thats cuz his sinker was so vicious tho. And he could throw it for strikes as well as out of the zone.

I would not say Ohtanis fastball is elite. At least not consistently. And he has times where he cant locate it. And he has to out a lot of effort to get it to 100mph. He does not throw the split enough for it to still be considered elite. His sweeper/slider is elite.

Snell is the ace tho. Damn shame he wasn't helping earlier
