Eiland's Wang analysis

Pitching coach Dave Eiland on Wang's performance:

“The first 50 pitches, the arm strength was really there — the late sink was there, that hard sink from 92 to 93. After about 50 pitches, the velocity went down a little bit, and instead of having sink, he had a little bit of tail to it, and it didn’t have that downward action. It was on the same plane as they’re swinging the bat.

I saw him down in the zone, I saw more life to his sink, I saw a better slider — he was very good at times; he was the Chien-Ming Wang of old. The consistency wasn’t quite there yet, but we feel with repetition and building his pitch count back up, that’s going to take care of itself.”
