The uncommitted Farina had his second very strong outing of the young season, going 4.2 innings scattering five hits while striking out three. Induced whiffs and weak contact with what is presently, at times, a slightly above average slider in both velocity and spin terms. He used the slider (73-75mph) as both a setup and out pitch during the outing with its sharp spin and late break. It’s a difficult pitch to pick up out of the hand for hitters. The pitch played perfectly off the fastball (85-87mph) as he tunnels both well. Mixed eye levels with the fastball working all quadrants of the zone for strikes. The changeup (71-73mph) was a setup pitch early before becoming a putaway pitch later in his outing. Farina is off to a very strong start to the season after earning his second win of the campaign.
