Rays News
- Notes: Patiño pounds zone; Yarbrough ‘crisp’ - Adam Berry, MLB.com: Rays fans get first game action look at the next big thing in the Rays future rotation.
- It was just 10 pitches, and still just Spring Training with limited cameras and data, but something to watch going forward with Patiño:
Luis Patiño averaged 12.1" of vertical mvmt (vMov) on his 4S in 2020.

Eyeballing his mvmt plot from today - looks like 5/7 4S were <12".
Good sign! Maybe conscious fix by TB, maybe Patiño aging out of his natural cut.
Note: in Baseball Savant-land, higher vMov # is LESS vMov. pic.twitter.com/Y1I4VZecEy
- Command was certainly there in his first Rays inning, along with some gas:
