But generally speaking we can look at the pitch tracking data and see what’s new — what are pitchers trying to do in 2024? Last week we looked at Aaro...2024

• Rays 1 Rangers 4: Let’s tip our cap for Nathan Eovaldi

Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports If you simply checked the final score of this game you might not realize that for eight innings it was one heck of a pitchers duel.
