 Tigers were playing Red's first game of a doubleheader and reliever Tyler Alexander made baseball history He set a new record for most consecutive strikeouts by reliever and tied the record by any AL pitcher starter or reliever Here we go. This one's brought to you by draft Kings first up We got moustacus has been swinging pretty good He falls behind him two and oh not the greatest start then he comes in gets strike one most takes the soft stuff Moose swings over the soft stuff moose swings over the soft stuff again He spins himself right out of there. You probably never really heard of Tyler Alexander is on the Tigers last year He started a bunch of games for him. He didn't pitch that well The Tigers were the worst team ever last year strike three bam. See you later Suarez Two for two two punches. He's dealing winkers up now starts them off soft strike one Goes hard ish kind of not really and then soft again Strike three winker. You're out of there one two three three strikeouts I went into his pitch mix because I wanted to see what was going on. Did this dude make any changes in 2019 he threw his four seamer 31% of the time that dropped all the way to 5.7% of the time he completely scratched his four seamer Which means that the changeup ticked up the sinker ticked up the curve ticked up Here's a little breakdown and probably the reason why if you look down here last year He's through his four seamer and his sinker about 54% of the time and they were both around the exact same speed So yeah, the movement may be different but not enough probably to full hitters So they said dude, you got to scrap one of those scrap the four seamer go up to 2020 Only 5.7% of the time He's only thrown it six times this season the sinker is now the fastball curve change slider keep some more off balance Those all move differently I love when guys make changes to their picks Mitch and then have tangible results now. I don't know if this is gonna stay I don't know if that's exactly what the reasoning why he did it, but he dropped the four seamer. Look at that pitch Look at that pitch Senzo's looking in like what the hell but look where Romine sets up and just boom right into his gloves So soft Romine's actually as impressive as Alexander this whole clip. Oh, too. Let's come in Let's get him to swing over it dirt one dirt sit He didn't fall for it, but it sets up the high fastball now. He pitched reverse style this whole inning Usually pitchers will strike one strike two fastball then try to throw something nasty in the dirt to have him swing over it He's doing the opposite He's throwing the nasty stuff early and the fastballs in the zone late like that strike three with that fastball right there Bam you're gone Next up we got Freddie and this is actually a good at bat He gets he goes one one now Romine calls for some soft shit says yep put it there Galvez swings right over it One and two so they want him to swing over it again. He was he hunted that one pretty bad Let's see if he'll do it again. He does it, but he fouls it off Okay, now he sits on it and Now he fouls it off again. Just keep throwing that damn thing. Okay. He sat on it three two now What do you do you throw it in the zone? He swings over it strikes him out one two three one two three one two three one two three one two three My dude Tucker Barnhardt up. He's going at him with the saw stuff gets him in a two-strike count and Romine's like Let's try that fastball now. Bam And the thing is Romine's putting his glove there and he's throwing it right to his glove So he got a couple calls that may have been off the plate what he's hitting his target perfectly now show goes up Go soft. He goes soft. He goes soft again show go doesn't take it. Okay. Let's go reverse style Let's throw the fastball with two strikes now put it right there. This freezes a little bit Nothing I can do about that, but he's strike them out. I love the reverse pitching I think a casual fan wouldn't watch this dude out here and be like he's mowing them down Because it's really tricky. It's really like, you know, it's a different form of pitching Castigliano's looking at him Like damn dude really really man. He's like, yeah, not bad. Like come on. He's like, yeah, okay It's been pretty pretty fucking awesome. This one's brought to you by draft Kings now He struck out nine of his first nine. He did pitch the next inning. He hit a guy He did get another strike out So that's 10 strikeouts on the outing for our dude Alexander if you picked him up in draft Kings on a whim on the Doubleheader day, you would have crushed the strikeouts. You can go get draft Kings right now using code using promo code John boy Pick him up again. Maybe he twirls some magic again Maybe go find another reliever you think's gonna come out in the middle of the game and get you ten K's Good luck
