“Physically I feel good. Now it’s just about honing things because I wasn’t killing it results wise,” he said.
“Had this time to make sure mechanics are good and things are synced up better than they were before. Use this time to make sure I’m in a good place physically but also pitch usage wise as well. Go face hitters a couple times and try to polish everything up and try to get a few things and get ready to get outs.”
Stripling, who signed with the Giants this offseason on a two year, $25 million contract, has struggled to keep the ball in the park. His 7.24 ERA is bogged by a 2.8 HR9 rate — meaning he gives up an average 2.8 home runs per nine innings. The stingy 3.7% walk rate he held last year ballooned to a 6.8% walk rate this year.
Along with his pitching coaches, Stripling went deep into the data collected by tracking and imaging tools such as Hawk-Eye and Kintracks to find some simple solutions to keeping his mistake pitches away from the middle of the plate. They found a fix could be something as simple as standing up taller before his delivery; he found he was hunching over.
“My heat maps are very similar to last year but the stuff I’m missing over the middle is just getting punished,” he said. “Don’t have room for error. Obviously, get those misses more to one side than the other and assume that not every miss will get hit over the fence. Which is kind of how it’s been this year. So it’ll come back to normal a little bit.”
