Inside the Rise of MacKenzie Gore and the Mysterious Potential of Gunnar Hoglund: What You Need to Know Now
Gore uses the cutter inside to righties almost 70% of the time, which is nice because he doesn’t go inside with his four-seam fastball nearly as much. The cutter has not just acted as a pitch to jam righties, but is a pitch that Gore will intentionally miss up with or run off the inside of the plate for a swinging strike. He’s using it in two-strike counts 44% of the time to righties, and it’s posted a 40% PutAway Rate, which measures how often a pitch thrown in a two-strike count leads to a strikeout. The cutter has, therefore, been an awesome offering to miss with a righty’s timing and get whiffs.
