Justin Wrobleski learned from watching Clayton Kershaw pitch

"I think that's the bread and butter for me, is the fastball and slider. Yes, at some point I want something that's moving the other way, but at the same time, I think if I can spot my heater, I think that's something I can do."

"There was nothing overly special. He wasn't trying to trick anybody. I think that's something I've learned even with watching Yama, Snell and all these guys. They're not trying to trick people. They're just executing pitches with great stuff and letting the results happen."

"Some days you can throw the same pitches and get hit. Some days you can throw those exact same pitches and have a great outing. Just keeping it simple is big for me."

Justin Wrobleski delivered a dominant performance against the New York Mets, completing eight shutout innings with only two pitches: his fastball and slider. Despite not following conventional wisdom, he trusted his abilities and learned from great pitchers like Clayton Kershaw. Wrobleski averaged around 11 pitches per inning and allowed only two base runners, effectively inducing ground-ball contact. Although the Mets made solid contact, his precise pitch location minimized damage. Manager Dave Roberts decided against a ninth-inning return for Wrobleski, opting for Tanner Scott instead.
