Is it just me, or does Trevor May rely to heavily on his fastball? Maybe it is because he does use the fastball so heavily, but he always seems to get great swinging strike rates on his off speed offerings, and that trend continued tonight.
Four walks in 5 innings is still a lot, but he did a good job of working out of trouble tonight, something that he had struggled with earlier.
Another thing of note is that his average fastball velocity has gone up over a half mile per hour since his first couple starts and peaked at 92 even tonight. Not only that, but he hit 94 twice as many times tonight (8) as he has in all of his previous starts combined (4). This to me is just another indicator that nerves were really messing with him early on.
