Chart Observations: BAL @ LAA

1) Jeremy Guthrie: 112 pitches. 7 strikes swinging. 3 on Fastballs (1st, 2 in 6th), 3 on Sliders (2nd, 3rd, 6th), Changeup (5th)

• Guthrie is a 6-1, 195 pound righty. The 30 year old has a medium frame that can add a little more muscle. He comes from an over the top release. His fastball has some armside run. His slider is a 2-7 with good bite. His changeup has some fade to lefties and a little sink. His curve is a 12-6 with good depth. He will throw his change to righties. He will drop down sidearm to throw fastballs with 2 strikes against lefties. I think he is a # 3 starter and should be one who pitches a lot better if he can get out of the AL East.

2) John Lackey: 114 pitches. 11 strikes swinging. Fastball (5th), 7 on Sliders (3 in 5th, 6th, 3 in 8th), 3 on Curveballs (3rd, 4th, 7th)

• Lackey is a 6-6, 245 pound righty. The 29 year old has a big frame that is maxed out. He comes from an over the top release. His fastball has above average armside run and a little sink. His curve is a 12-6 offering with good depth. His slider is a sharp 1-7 with good bite. His change has good fade from lefties with some sink. He can throw the curveball for strikes or bury it and it served as his out pitch early on. He is still a # 2 starter regardless of the stats and looks to make a lot of money this offseason.

3) Chris Ray: 13 pitches. 0 strikes swinging.

• Ray is a 6-3, 225 pound righty. The 27 year old has a medium frame that is maxed out. He is a little herky jerky from a sidearm release. His fastball has good armside run and his slider is a 3-8 pitch with good bite. Looks to still be a solid middle relief option, but not the setup man or closer he once flashed being.

8th: FB (93-95), SL (84-86)

4) Brian Fuentes: 8 pitches. 0 strikes swinging

• Fuentes came from a low 3/4, almost sidearm release and is a slinger. His fastball has some gloveside run and his slider is a slurvy 10-4 with good bite.

9th: FB (89-91), SL (75)
