"Sheehan's fastball velocity started at 95.6 mph in the first inning but dropped to 92.8 mph by the fourth inning, indicating a significant decline during the game."
"Manager Dave Roberts stated that the Dodgers 'don't have an answer' for Sheehan's velocity issues, while Sheehan expressed confidence in resolving his delivery problems."
"'I think it's just (that) my delivery is a little bit off,' Sheehan said. 'But we're working hard on it, so it's going to get right. I know it will.'"
"Despite Sheehan's struggles, the Dodgers secured a victory, taking the lead in the eighth inning through Kyle Tucker's second RBI as a Dodger."
Emmet Sheehan struggled with velocity during his first start of the season against the Arizona Diamondbacks, allowing four runs in 3.1 innings. His fastball velocity fluctuated, starting at 95.6 mph but dropping to 92.8 mph by the fourth inning. Despite his performance, the Dodgers won the game, with Kyle Tucker contributing an RBI. Sheehan, returning from Tommy John surgery, aims to address his delivery issues and is not scheduled to pitch against the Cleveland Guardians, likely returning against the Washington Nationals.
