“Clip started out really strong, then they implemented a pitch clock here in Triple-A and it kind of threw him for a little loop there for a while,” LeCroy told Federal Baseball on Monday.
“He had to throw a little bit quicker than normal, and I think that affected him a little bit but he is back on track. He has adjusted to it.”
In his first eight innings this year at Rochester, he had an ERA of 5.63 with 12 strikeouts in eight innings of work.
