“I feel as a pitcher, if my mind’s right, I can pretty much do anything,” Hayden Wesneski said. “This is definitely a start you can build onto.”
Coming off two subpar starts, Wesneski produced his best outing of the young season Monday at Oakland Coliseum. At one point, he retired 15 consecutive hitters in the Chicago Cubs’ 10-1 victory.Yet the 25-year-old right-hander wasn’t satisfied by holding the A’s to one run in seven innings while striking out seven with no walks.
“It’s a great thing to be your best critic, an ability to be hard on yourself, but at the same time, we’re in the big leagues,” Gomes said after the win. “Those are big-league hitters. So you’ve got to give yourself some grace, like understand that there’s a learning curve. They’re going to learn about you. They know you’ve got a phenomenal slider. But at some point, once you start seeing a little bit of improvement, that’s where you get the confidence from.
Wesneski’s sweeping slider, his best pitch, was back to producing. His sweeper produced five whiffs and 13 called strikes, and six of Wesneski’s seven strikeouts ended on the pitch.
