Daily News | Despite an improved Zach Wheeler outing, Phillies fall to Brewers, 5-3
In his first two outings of the regular season, he was unable to pitch past the fifth inning. His velocity was down, which isn’t ideal for a power pitcher who relies primarily on his fastball. The Zack Wheeler that fans are used to seeing can hit 98 mph, 99 mph, or even 100 mph, and do it with control. He can pitch well -- and deep -- into games. Those two outings were not the Zack Wheeler fans were used to seeing.
“I can’t say enough how much he wasn’t prepared coming into spring training as he normally would be, just because of that sore shoulder and the lockout. He wasn’t able to get long toss in the same, he wasn’t able to get bullpens in the same. So, yeah, I’m not too surprised about it.” In the fifth inning, he ran into some trouble, but it wasn’t all on him. Kyle Schwarber made a throw from left field that fell way short, bouncing slowly to Realmuto after Lorenzo Cain had reached home plate, and Willy Adames stole home as Christian Yelich stole second base.
For the most part, Wheeler was not allowing hard contact. He didn’t allow any walks, and was able to make it deeper into his start on Saturday than he has in his first two outings. His final stat line: 5 innings, 7 hits, 4 earned runs, and 5 strikeouts. It’s not the Zack Wheeler fans are used to seeing, but he’s getting close.
