Victor Vodnik is finding outs without finding the strike zone
Victor Vodnik’s season does not make immediate sense. He still averages 98.5 mph with his four-seam fastball. He produces ground balls at one of the highest rates in baseball. His slider has become a legitimate weapon, and hitters have not spent the year driving everything he throws into the gaps. Yet through July 9, Vodnik […]
