One Stat Midseason Check-In
Briefly

The Blue Jays' bullpen performance varies among players. Nick Sandlin emphasizes a slider over fastballs post-injury, but has struggled with strikeouts. Braydon Fisher's pitching style produces high strikeout rates thanks to effective breaking balls. Yimi Garcia's walk rate is notable but his recent performance is hindered by injury. Mason Fluharty's hard-hit rate has drastically increased, negatively impacting his ERA and leading to a demotion as he attempts to improve his form.
Nick Sandlin has used his fastball less frequently, relying on his slider nearly half the time, resulting in only five strikeouts over 7.2 innings.
Braydon Fisher has a unique pitching style with significant vertical separation between his slider and curveball, contributing to a team-leading 31.3% K rate.
Yimi Garcia's walk rate remains at 12%, but his performance is currently incomplete due to an ankle sprain following a brief return from the IL.
Mason Fluharty has seen an increase in hard-hit rate, leading to an elevated ERA of 8.31 and a demotion to AAA to regain form.
