MGM. Gray has made some subtle tweaks to his fastball and slider that have really paid dividends this season. He’s over this line in 5/7 games, and the 90+ percentile in hard hit rate, avg EV, and 83rd percentile in xBA. He’s also getting more movement on his pitches which have had opponents chasing more (70th percentile). The DBacks have been groundball heavy (7th over the L2 weeks vs RHP), and gray has upped his ground all rate significantly this season (42%). I see a lot of soft contact for the DBacks.
