What the hell does location have to do with not throwing his breaking pitches? These are f'ing major league hitters, they can time a jet at the knees or at the chest. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE ALL SITTING ON THE LOW FASTBALL AT THE KNEES.
And when you add the fact that the fastball velocity is down it is retarded not to be utilizing the entire repertoire.
fangraphs has his average velo virtually the same as his career numbers. they do have him throwing his 2 seamer about twice as much as last year, so maybe he is trying to add that in.
just don't know why you would ever throw that breaking pitch less.
