Edwin Diaz faced significant challenges during Game 2 of the NLDS, struggling with control and pitch selection as fatigue appeared to impact his performance.
After walking Harper on four pitches, including three sliders, Diaz lost control against Castellanos who capitalized with a hit, illustrating the impact of Diaz's fatigue.
Multiple fastball hitters pressured Diaz, yet he opted to avoid his strongest pitch, showcasing how exhaustion may influence strategic choices during high-stress situations.
Despite throwing 25 pitches between innings, only 8 were fastballs, indicating a potential decline in performance linked to an unprecedented workload for Diaz.
