Sean Boyle, recovering from Tommy John surgery, has demonstrated progress in recent outings. After struggling early in the season with high runs in specific innings, he hit his stride by the mid-April doubleheader against Rochester, where he and two relievers achieved a one-hit shutout victory. Manager Shelley Duncan praised Boyle's outstanding slider and control. Boyle himself noted he made critical adjustments to his slider, enabling him to maximize its effectiveness. Recently, Boyle secured another shutout win, elevating his record to 2-2 and solidifying confidence in his comeback.
"His slider was tremendous. He got ahead with his sinker; it seems like he was able to control it everywhere. More importantly, he was throwing strikes with that sweeper and getting people to expand with it. That's the best I've seen him throw in a long time."
"I think it started with the slider. Previous outings, I really struggled to keep it in the zone. That's kind of what I was talking about when I made those adjustments. I was able to shift that starting line and make it a useful pitch versus just wasting it."
"After Tommy John surgery in 2023, Sean Boyle’s performance has greatly improved, demonstrating significant progress with effective adjustments to his pitching strategy during games."
"In his latest outings, Boyle has shown resilience with notable shutout performances, showcasing his recovery and ability to control pitches, striking out batters effectively."
