Pablo López - 2021 Frequency of Pitches by Pitch Speed Baseball Savant

Notes: Lefty-swinging rookies Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Jesús Sánchez are both on the bench vs. veteran southpaw Matt Moore...The Marlins offense thrived on Wednesday in a unique way, becoming the only MLB team on record to score 11 runs in a game while also striking out 16 times with only one walk...Wednesday was the third anniversary of Pablo’s major league debut...The well-rested pitchers available out of the Marlins bullpen (haven’t pitched in at least two days) are Anthony Bender, Richard Bleier and Ross Detwiler.

Phillies Lineup

  1. CF Odúbel Herrera
  2. C J.T. Realmuto
  3. RF Bryce Harper
  4. LF Andrew McCutchen
  5. 1B Rhys Hoskins
  6. 3B Alec Bohm
  7. 2B Nick Maton
  8. SS Ronald Torreyes
  9. LHP Matt Moore (2021 season stats: 5.79 ERA, 5.86 FIP, 17.6 K%, 39.0 HardHit% in 23.1 IP)

Notes: Scheduled starter Zach Eflin “experienced congestion and body aches yesterday,” per MLB.com’s Todd Zolecki. Moore is working on five days’ rest having pitched on the road against the Mets on June 25 (5.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K)...Realmuto has a career .213 batting average and 27.8% strikeout rate when facing Marlins pitching. Those are the worst numbers that he has in both categories against any National League team.
