Santana threw his slider 30 times in 2019, resulting in a slash line of .200/.500/.200. He struggled with command at times, issuing 2 walks in just 8 plate appearances. However, the pitch shows promise due to its nice glove side break and good depth. It averages 80 mph and is one of Santana’s main out pitches given the three strikeouts in the 8 PAs.
