"Molina's pitch usage was all over the place with the Rockies. The slider was working for him, but the Braves have culled his pitches and made him into a fastball-curveball guy with a changeup to lefties."
"His breaking stuff is playable and the fastball is hot. But he has a similar problem to a lot of marginal relievers in that he can't locate the fastball."
"So is Anthony Molina an interesting reliever? He's done enough to warrant some attention. I'm looking forward to another former Rockies reliever success story."
Anthony Molina, previously with the Colorado Rockies, has a fastball reaching 96-97 MPH and a decent curveball. His career statistics show a 15% strikeout rate and a 6.82 ERA. The Braves have adjusted his pitch usage, focusing on a fastball-curveball combination. Molina's curveball has shown promise with a 26% putaway rate in 2024. However, he struggles with fastball location, a common issue among marginal relievers. Despite these challenges, he has the potential to become a useful asset for Atlanta.
