Ross Stripling Stats

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Ross Stripling had his second rough game in as many tries. The right-hander allowed four runs on six hits and a walk over five innings of work on Thursday night. Stripling struck out five batters and threw 46 of his 70 pitches (66%) for strikes so his control was fine but the former Dodgers hurler struggled with his command. Five of the six hits against him were extra-base knocks. In his previous start, Stripling allowed three runs in 3.1 innings on seven hits and two walks. He's currently in the starting rotation filling the spot earmarked for injured rookie hurler Nate Pearson (groin). Pearson has begun throwing off the mound but is not expected back until he builds up his stamina.

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Ross Stripling lasted just 3.1 innings against the New York Yankees on Saturday. Originally ticketed for the bullpen, the right-hander is filling in for injured pitching prospect Nate Pearson (groin). Stripling was in control early and struck out four batters over the first three innings before his command started to slip in the fourth. With an average-at-best fastball, he needs strong command to work through a lineup. Stripling gave up two hits including a home run to Gary Sanchez and a wall in the fourth inning before getting replaced by Tyler Chatwood. In total, Stripling allowed seven hits and two walks that led to three runs.

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Ross Stripling struck out seven Detroit Tigers hitters without issuing a walk on Monday. However, the right-hander was hardly effective and he allowed three runs on five hits including a solo homer through 3.2 innings. Stripling continued to struggle with the effectiveness of his fastball and all seven strikeouts came on his secondary offerings: two on changeups, three on sliders, and three on curveballs. His heater was used early in the count to get ahead in the count and sat around 91-92 mph. With Nate Pearson expected to open the season on the IL, there is an opening in the Jays' starting rotation with a competition ongoing between Stripling (the favorite for the role), T.J. Zeuch, and Anthony Kay.
