Welcome back to another edition of The Anatomy of An Inning. My name is Jacob Roy, and I pretend to know pitching better than the pitchers themselves. If you’re new here or need a reminder of what this is all about, I take an inning from the previous week or so and break it down, one pitch at a time. Each pitch should have a purpose, I’m looking at each individually to try to go beyond the box score and tell the full story.
It’s Tanner Houck week inside my brain! That’s right, I was so convinced Houck would never excel as a starting pitcher that his newfound success in the rotation has consumed my every waking thought.
