What’s Up With Arquimedes Caminero?

Arquimedes Caminero has been somewhat of an interesting pitcher in his one year and two months as a reliever for the Pittsburgh Pirates. The fire-baller has had his ups and downs, and his 2016 season has been a down to date, but why?

In his first month of the 2015 season, Arquimedes Caminero electrified fans with his 100 mile per hour fastball, and he supported that heater with a 3.38 ERA, 0.938 WHIP, 4.33 K/BB, a strike out percentage of 30.23 percent, and opponents hitting a measly .179/.256/.256 in his 11 games in the month of April.
