David Peterson’s Dominant Performance Leaves Rockies Stunned—Is He Mets’ Secret Weapon?
“It’s easy [to think Peterson pitches better in relief] because of three outings now where he’s been really, really good, but I keep saying it, he’s a starter,” Mendoza said. “He’s very good when he’s at his best and we saw it today. I think the key is attacking the strike zone. He pounded the strike zone today with everything.”
The question becomes why hasn’t Peterson pitched like he did on Monday or in his two other relief appearances this season when he starts a game?
When asked what the difference was between this relief outing and his last start where he allowed seven earned runs in 3.2 innings, Peterson pointed to examining his pitch-usage and finding that he wasn’t using his slider enough, instead opting for other pitches like the curveball in similar spots.
