Very impressive stuff from him today all around. I think he worked himself into a bit of pitch count trouble trying to be a little too perfect. I think the best version of the Gore is the one that sees those pitches in the middle of the zone and realizes he has the stuff to get away with it.
I also think this chart shows how he fatigues. Later in games he tends to fly open a bit and struggle to come straight downhill, that leads to him missing to his glove side pretty consistently. If he can start to consistently land pitches on his arm side he is going to be a front end-ace type of pitcher.
