I don't think Gipson-Long pitched all too well here, but he allowed an unearned run + a hung slider returned his other two runs. Blame it on the Royals and I'm curious whether he can nail his fastball command enough to let his slider and change shine in 2024. Think a Logan Webb-lite comp.

After an annoying first frame, he settled down a bit and was able to come through across five frames. Unfortunately, we saw a lot of the floor here as his slider and changeup weren't nearly the strike machines we wanted them to be - both sat around a 55% strike rate. He may be like that a second time as he gets the Guardians and don't overvalue Gipson-Long here. I'm starting him, but don't do it over other options with longer track records.

Soooo Sawyer Gipson-Long pitched last weekend and I kinda dug what he did. He had a good looking changeup, a solid slider, and a sinker he could rely on for strikes that came with actual sink. I even did a video about him, highlighting Sawyer as a solid option down the stretch with some great matchups as a mini-Logan Webb, though with some caution as he carries the obvious "Shag Rug" with just one start in the books of his MLB career.
And what did we get against the Angels? 5.0 IP, 1 ER, 2 Hits, 3 BBs, 11 Ks - 23 Whiffs, 45% CSW, 82 pitches as he earned himself a "Golden Goal". WHAT. His changeup and slider each returned 9+ whiffs, his sinker returned a 47% CSW without a single ball in play, and his four-seamer woke up for 43% CSW of its own (and allowed Sawyer's only two hits to his now nemesis Nolan Schanuel). This was stupid fun to watch and it's not completely uncalled for.
I imagine we'll have some nights where the changeup doesn't earn the number of strikes we want to see from it (he didn't hit all his spots here) and if the slider isn't getting the same whiffs, he'll labor. But this arsenal works, especially against Oakland and Kansas City in his final two starts. Yeah. Get him and let's see how he finishes the year. If he can limit the walks and not get lost trying to find the zone with his changeup and slider, he'll continue to produce.

I kinda dig this guy. He had a whole lot of confidence throwing righty-on-righty changeups while his 92/93 mph sinker returned a 47% CSW and slider boasted a 42% CSW clip of its own. And here's the thing - it's the Angels + Athletics up next. At 73 pitches here, that could mean 80+ there and is it wrong that I want to chase it? The changeup and slider look like enough.
