Edwin DÃaz's recent performance has raised minor eyebrows, but Mets management, including pitching coach Jeremy Hefner, remains unconcerned. After a shaky outing where he allowed two earned runs, Hefner noted that DÃaz's velocity and spin rates are normal. Despite consecutive rough appearances, DÃaz's mechanics may be slightly off, leading to challenging counts against batters. The organization feels that with a few adjustments, DÃaz can return to form, highlighting a focus on technical aspects rather than alarming performance declines.
"Overall, the stuff and the spin rates and all those things are pretty normal," Hefner said of DÃaz before the Mets' 3-1 loss to the A's.
"There might be some stuff with his delivery that is slightly different, that's causing a few more misses in - a two-ball count or three-ball count that makes it seem worse than it actually is," Hefner said.
