He entered with a runner on first base in the seventh inning and threw six fastballs above 101 mph over 2 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe knows the name of the game is still to throw nasty stuff in the zone and stay in control, and he can\u2019t really get himself sped up mentally to just want to throw 105 out of the bullpen because he can,\u201d Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre pitching coach Spencer Medick told The Post by phone. \u201cYou saw him a couple times where it\u2019s 99 in the strike zone. With two strikes, here\u2019s a 102 fastball up just to let one rip. That\u2019s stuff he\u2019s capable of.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut he\u2019s still intelligent. That\u2019s where I think starting has really helped him learn to navigate [how to] get a guy out. Making sure the priority stays Strike 1, getting to two strikes and putting a guy away using all his pitches rather than \u2018I\u2019m just going to be a thrower.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CLEVELAND \u2014 Carlos Lagrange\u2019s pitching plan should double as a schedule for the Triple-A ballparks hosting him to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":722746,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2376],"tags":[5,8057,3967,4,1690,62,2548,2547,185,428,142],"class_list":["post-722745","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-yankees","tag-baseball","tag-exclusive","tag-minor-leagues","tag-mlb","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-yankees","tag-newyork","tag-newyorkyankees","tag-sports","tag-sports-plus","tag-yankees"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116728525222738371","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722745","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=722745"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722745\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/722746"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=722745"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=722745"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=722745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
