Andres Munoz Strikes Out Three More
2 years agoSeattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz recorded three outs Friday, and all three of them were on strikeouts. He also allowed one hit. Munoz, who has the fastest average fastball in the major leagues, has been setting hitters down on strikes at a prodigious rate, with 75 percent of his outs in four July innings coming by strikeout, and 51 in 32 2/3 innings this year. The Mariners don't appear to intend to move him into the closer role anytime soon, but he'd be a top-end asset if it ever came to pass. In the meantime, he's quite valuable in leagues that reward holds.
