Baltimore Orioles: Whiffs, Knuckle-Curves, And More Nate Karns
There’s a lot to like about the newest pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles.
Signing Nate Karns isn’t going to add very many wins to the Baltimore Orioles final line, but the acquisition is still an interesting move to look at a bit more closely. Attempting to come back from elbow inflammation and thoracic outlet surgery which has cost him nearly two years, Karns has shown an ability to be a very solid back-end of a rotation piece.
Karns’ pitching repertoire includes a fastball that sits at around 93 mph, a changeup, and his highly impressive knuckle-curve. I want to dive deeper into his knuckle-curve in a moment, but first, a look at his overall numbers.
