4 years agoSeattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi had a strong outing Sunday against the Brewers, striking out five consecutive batters at one point. Kikuchi finished the outing having thrown 3 1/3 innings of one-run ball. He allowed two hits and one walk while striking out six. Kikuchi's entire arsenal looked sharp, but his fastball stood out, hitting 97 mph on the radar gun. Kikuchi's Statcast numbers indicate that he had some bad luck in 2020, and a breakout could be on the horizon.--Doug Goldring - RotoBaller
