Knack had a pretty good debut against the Nats, giving up just 2 runs over 5 IP. 4Ks, 1 BB, 1 HR among the TTOs. In the minors, his GB rate is only around 35%, but he got the Nats to hit grounders in his first start. Per FG, he's their 23rd ranked prospect with a mid-4s projected ERA. QuoteKnack makes heavy use of a mid-80s cutter/slider that he commands the best of all his pitches. His changeup, relegated to about 13% usage in 2023, is his best bat-misser from a rate standpoint, tailing in at around 82 mph, but Knack’s feel for it is less consistent. The 2024 change in physicality here is interesting and has coincided with a velo bump that has given Knack average velocity again.https://blogs.fangraphs.com/los-angeles-dodgers-top-49-prospects-2024/

Any idea why so many games are starting at 6:40/6:45 instead of the traditional 7:05/7:10?
Boom!
Have to capitalize here
