In a recent MLB game, Spencer Strider of the Atlanta Braves had a challenging start, giving up a leadoff homer to Ketel Marte and several hits in the first inning, resulting in the Dbacks taking an early 3-1 lead. Despite a rough beginning, Strider managed to strike out multiple hitters and showed resilience. However, concerns have emerged about his health after the Braves' thrilling home opener victory, as reports suggest he may be injured. This incident adds to the growing concerns about pitcher arm health in the MLB, with Strider and Shane Bieber being the latest top pitchers to suffer injuries. The situation is under scrutiny as MLB conducts a study into arm health, highlighting the importance of pitcher welfare in the sport.
After giving up seven runs in the first inning and facing 11 batters without getting a strikeout in that frame, Max Fried struck out all three batters in the second inning. He's at 53 pitches through two.
And Spencer Strider is injured. This seems potentially ominous. https://t.co/vfJHuiXEl4
