Jagged Little Hill: Length is more from Sev
Ignoring the extended Alanis Morissette pun I legitimately couldn’t resist titling this article, there’s a serious point to be made.
It may sound aggressive, but it’s true: if Luis Severino is to take a real step forward in 2016, he’ll need to learn to manage the force of his fastball and consistently provide length. The kid gloves must come off at some point. It’s blunt, but that’s Major League baseball. By year’s end, the “complete games” total cannot be a null set.
And I’m not restricting this judgment simply to Severino. His name just allowed me to force the headline to sound the way I wanted it to. Because I’m the worst.
