When German Marquez is on, there’s a swagger to his game. He glowers at hitters.
The right-hander can unleash a sizzling 97 mph fastball that sets hitters up for a knuckle curve that leaves them muttering as they trudge back to the dugout. Marquez practically smacks his lips waiting for his next victim.
In order to rebound, Marquez first had to explore what went wrong. He spent considerable time last season, and during the offseason, studying video and pouring over analytics. That was apparent in the opponents’ .260 batting average against him, the highest since 2017 , his first full season in the majors. Marquez is a consistent strike-thrower, which is good. But hitters teed off on him last season because his pitches in the strike zone were too meaty.— shadow, chase and waste — Marquez was about average. But when he threw pitches over the heart of the plate, Marquez got hammered.
In basic terms, Marquez said he needs, “more rise on the four-seam fastball and more sink on the two-seam fastball.”
