This Clayton Ker Gal has thrown 115 pitches in 6 innings. She has not improved in this area. One reason for that is she doesn't trust her fastball in full count situations. She keeps throwing junk in the lower part of the zone, and they keep fouling it off. Finally, she gets them to hit a ground ball in fair territory, and gets out of it. Now, she is a useful pitcher, but I think this way of pitching hurts her own team's offense. It's my own opinion that, in a psychological battle of wills (close low-scoring game,) there is a marked advantage to the team that is the most efficient at getting the other team out. It's not a confidence builder to constantly be fighting off another team's offensive threats. Not only that, but she often hangs a junk pitch when she gets in the 6th, or 7th inning. She didn't tonite, but she usually will. That usually puts her team down. She seems like a perfect fit for the Yankees hi-scoring team.
