In his last three outings, Jimenez has allowed eight runs (five earned) in two innings.
https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=jimenjo02&t=p&year=2019
Since the All-Star break last year, Jimenez has posted a 3-7 record with a 6.40 ERA.
Jimenez is rushing his drive to the plate and leaving his arm lagging a bit.
The fastball doesn?t get the true riding backspin and continues to be flat. This is, of course, exacerbated by the fact that he?s completely lost his feel for the slider and won?t even throw it. Instead he tries harder with the heater, making things worse.
Jimenez may well need a return trip to Toledo to work on his mechanics and experiment with a curveball. Even at his best, the slider has only been intermittently good and his best arm slot and release are better suited to a hook to begin with.
