"Spencer Strider dominated the game against the Yankees, showcasing his skills and earning high praise with a strong performance."
"Joey Wentz, drafted in 2016, is finally set to make his first MLB start after years of delays in his career progress."
"Wentz has primarily been a relief pitcher but faces uncertainty as he transitions to a starting role, particularly concerning performance in later innings."
"The expectation for Wentz to face 9 to 12 batters reflects a cautious approach regarding his ability to manage a lineup multiple times."
Spencer Strider had an impressive game against the New York Yankees, except for a single half inning. Joey Wentz, drafted in the first round in 2016, is making his long-awaited MLB start. Though Wentz has excelled as a multiple inning relief pitcher, he has not started a game since 2023 and has logged about 135 innings at the minor league level. There are questions regarding how he will perform against batters a second time as he prepares to face an estimated 9 to 12 batters in the upcoming game.
