Happy Saturday, Viva El Birdos!
The “Saturday Singles” podcast is back with a really excellent (if I do say so myself) interview with Connor Thomas, starter with the Memphis Redbirds.
Thomas is a sinkerball starter with really solid MLB projections. He doesn’t have a ton of velocity, but he makes up for it with a really low walk rate and some ability to generate K’s. Mostly, he just epitomizes what the Cardinals’ front office has looked for to pitch in front of their elite infield defense.
In this interview, we talk a lot about his repertoire and process — the approach he takes to getting outs.
