Jonathan Cannon, the White Sox pitcher, acknowledges the need to limit walks after struggling in a recent game against the Red Sox. In the loss, Cannon allowed four runs, highlighting his issues with issuing free passes. Despite having a good pitch arsenal, he faced challenges, especially in the third inning where walks led to critical runs. Although he rebounded in subsequent innings, maintaining control is essential for his effectiveness this season, especially given his significant increase in walk rate from the previous year.
It's frustrating just kind of beating yourself in the third. Couple walks, then you allow those hits to become RBIs.
Gotta throw more strikes. I thought the stuff was good. When I was ahead in the count, no issues.
Didn't really get burned, just put myself in a situation where you can't really give up a hit.
His walk rate was 13.1% after being at 7.7% last season, indicating a struggle with limiting walks.
