Just some trends with Martis to consider based on his limited amount of innings this year:

-  He is throwing pitches like so:  Fastball (42%), Changeup (23%), Slider (18%), Curveball (13%).  He has decreased the number of fastballs from last year and has increased the amount of sliders by 9% and Changeup/Curveball by 3%.  These numbers could draw closer to last year's with more innings, though.

-  His first pitch strikes are up to 67.5%, last year he was throwing first pitch strikes 50% of the time.

-  Last game, he was averaging 90.3 MPH on his four seamer and had it top out at 93.2 MPH.  The fastball also had some good break on it, about 9 inches vertical/6 inches horizontal, he will have another good outing if he can do the same tonight.

-  He did not have any innings with more than 20 pitches and had two innings with just 8 pitches.
