If I interpret the game stats correctly
Of the 11 balls Arizona put in to play 7 of them went for hits. Damn that’s a crazy stat if I figured it correctly.

Emma needs more movement and change of speed to be elite. She has velocity
but that will only get you so far if you miss belt high with your rise and don't get enough movement on your drops or placement of fastballs.

Yep. If you throw straight rockets good hitters will drive them back at . .
you. That's what I saw close up tonight. If Emma doesn't develop more break she's going to be pitcher that absolutely dominates average teams but gets smoked (as she tonight) against good hitters.

Agreed. Good hitters will time up speed and that's what you had tonight.
Her job as a pitcher is to disrupt the timing and rhythm of the hitter. That takes change of speed, movement, and change of planes/levels. She looks like a one-trick pony right now.

It’s not about Ks. It’s about runs allowed. Something some folks forget

I don't think Amish was talking about K's.
11 balls were put into play, and 7 were base hits. That is a crazy statistic.
