Overview

  • Cam Schlittler held Detroit to one run over six innings with seven strikeouts in New York’s 9-3 win.
  • The 24-year-old said his key adjustment was likely stopping the tipping of his pitches after a rough outing against Toronto.
  • He now sits at roughly 56 innings with a 3.05 ERA, a 10.13 K/9 rate, and an 84.5% left-on-base rate this season.
  • His arsenal features a fastball averaging about 97.8 mph and a cutter around 91.5 mph that have limited opponents to near-.200 averages.
  • With that performance profile and recent rebound, evaluators are placing him firmly in the conversation for a postseason rotation spot.
