Battenfield with a nice outing, an 85 pitch/51 strike effort - 6IP 4H 0ER/R 1BB 3K. Columbus up 1-0 on a Will Benson solo shot.

Sat 95-96, T97, flashed his plus plus curve. Last 2 outings, 2.1 IP, 22 strikes to 7 balls, 4 K, 0 BB, 0 H, 0 ER. Has ranged from 94 up to 99 with his fastball the last week.

Big at bat for Nolan Jones - bases juiced no outs... Brennan with 3BB and Call just took an amazing BB..

Edit. NJ with a sac fly, Bo Naylor's shot.

Battenfield has the frame to be a good starter.. Did you see/hear if his fourth pitch, that weird fading change up, is becoming a weapon?..

I'm just armchair reporting. They'll be highlights on YouTube at some point though.

@BimboColesHair - Do you know how Peyton looked?

Same as he has all year.

Struggling with command as he works through a few changes to his arsenal, but throws such a heavy FB that he's still highly effective and generates weak contact. I know people have been wondering about his low K numbers...he isn't getting to a lot of 2 strike counts as he works through things. Hard to get to strike 3 when you aren't getting to strike 2 much.

Sat 93-95, T96, slutter was his best off speed pitch today, flashed his curve a little, mixed in a heavy change as a change of pace. His off speed stuff is just flat right now, and will be into late July most likely.

Yeah, he’s throwing a lot more strikes now, great to see. Bullpen could be amazing if he and Vargas keep it going!

a guy who can see the ball as well as Freeman should have a pretty good idea of what to swing at.. and what to watch bounce in the dirt...
