Velocity hasn't been his issue since the shoulder issue - command has. He walked more than a hitter per inning yet again.
Let's hope he gets it figured out. Could be a nice Lefty for the rotation.

.......95-96 and getting swing and misses. Appears the ump is squeezing him on his Change and slider.
I thought the robo umps were working this season
Yes.....I wondered about that. To be honest.....I was going off that strike zone box on the ESPN scoreboard because the game was not televised. Is the Robo ump just for challenged calls?
Many pitchers never regain command after a shoulder injury. I hope that’s not how it goes in this case, but shoulder injuries are the worst type of injury for a pitcher.

That's not true. Velocity during the first half of the season was also a big issue...along with his command. He started the year throwing 90-92 consistently and finished around 92-95.
