Philadelphia – Bryson Stott wondered how many terrains he saw on Saturday because it was a lot.
“Oh, cool,” said Stott after the 11-10 phillies victory against the Marlins at Citizens Bank Park.
Stott has been producing the headache from the phillies since he got the head sign nine days ago. On Saturday, he went 3 for 5 with a double, a step, a stolen base, two points scored and three points produced. He saw seven throws while working a first step, doubled on seven throws to score two points in fourth, in single of four throws to score a point in the fifth, then chose six throws in the seventh.
The 35 Stott throws were the most important of a game by a phillie player since Brandon Marsh saw 35 on August 30, 2023. No Philie player has seen it for 39 Rhys Hoskins in seven appearances against Arizona on August 31, 2022.
“Just try to see as many terrains as possible, whether or not it ends,” said Stott. “I feel like it helps Trea (Turner) and Bryce (Harper) and Kyle (Schwarber). Everyone. I see just as much as I can and hit the mistakes. ”
The phillies ended up needing each race that Stott produced when Jordan Romano granted a quarry summit six points in just two thirds of a round in the ninth, including a pair of circuits. He had never granted more than three points in a match.
Romano has an MPM of 15.26 in nine appearances with the Phillies this year.
Romano also had his best things of the year. Its quick ball affected 99.8 MPH and it was on average 97.0 MPH, up 2.2 MPH of its season average.
“I just crushed myself,” he said.
Phillies manager Rob Thomson said the club is looking for answers. He mentioned that when Romano entered the match, he had only launched 10 throws since April 12.
“He’s a bit rusty,” said Thomson. “But the things were good. The speed was good. We have to examine other things. But I have a lot of confidence in him. He has an excellent history. As long as his belongings are good, you have to believe in him.”
Romano said he would examine the video to see if he could switch locations.
“When it’s so bad, that’s for sure,” said Romano. “When they put this many swings on it, that’s for sure. You know what is honestly crazy for me? I went there and I have somehow executed what I wanted to do. It was just the worst possible result. I wanted to go there, I wanted to drive the area with my radiator, throw the cursor in it for strikes and I did it.”
Phils can only hope that Romano is straightening up. They need him to be effective and lever effect.
Phillies certainly feel better with the way Stott has played as head striker. Thomson moved it on the spot on April 11. He strikes .310 with a .812 OPS in seven games since.
Stott entered an average of 4.73 throws by appearance by plaque on Saturday, which was second among all qualified baseball strikers behind the Andy pages of Dodgers (4.91).
Stott pursues fewer land in the striking area than in the past. He swings much less at the first throw.
This indicates that he feels confident, that he is not afraid to delay in the count.
“I felt like I was getting out a bit,” said Stott. “In a way, selling and putting to the ground in the second row. So, confident to remove those who remove those and wait for the mistakes.”
The Right Phillies Taijuan Walker granted a point in four rounds. He launched only 56 throws, but he left the match because his right shoulder tightened during the third round of the Phillies.
He said he expects to start on Friday against Cubs at Wrigley Field.
Walker was just happy that Stott and the rest of the phillie programming did their thing.
“I love him there,” said Walker about Stott leading. “I like his bats. Since I have been here, looking at his bats, he blurs the strikes, he sees a lot of throws. He is not afraid to go quickly. He fights and has their launcher launched.”
