Joan Adon just didn’t have it in his 3 2⁄3-inning, 84-pitch outing against the New York Mets in D.C. back on May 12th.
Adon, 23, gave up three hits, five walks, and three runs in that turn in Washington’s rotation.
Nationals’ manager Davey Martinez said after the game Adon didn’t ever look like he was able to get comfortable on the mound, with his mechanics out of sorts in the brief start.
“He couldn’t repeat his delivery,” Martinez explained.
“He was flying open, a lot of arm-side misses, a lot of yanked curveballs, like I said, he just couldn’t really get into his body today and mechanically he just wasn’t there today.
