I rushed it and used more upper body, like I was doing last year.
If you see the first pitch when I walked that hitter, it was like 89-90 (mph). “Whenever I’m using my hip and lower half, that’s been when the velo and everything comes up.
Make sure my hip is in the right direction and push through my hip,” Jansen explained of the movement. Jansen changed his mechanics to achieve those results and noticeably moves his hip before throwing a pitch. He’s allowed just seven hits in 25.2 innings and previously attributed his success to getting an increase in velocity and movement on his pitches. With Wednesday’s scoreless outing, Jansen lowered his ERA on the season to 1.75 - his best mark since an All-Star campaign in 2017. It’s kind of escape for your life and like I said, it’s just the reaction time to catch the ball.”
I mean, that was a quick rush,” Jansen said of his catch. He did not allow a hit, struck out a batter and even made a spectacular game-ending catch on a line drive off the bat of Ke’Bryan Hayes that had an exit velocity of 92 mph. The combination of Victor Gonzalez, David Price, Joe Kelly, Blake Treinen and Kenley Jansen tossed 7.1 scoreless innings, allowing just one hit while collecting five strikeouts.įor Jansen, he picked up his 14th save of the season after recording the final four outs. Having taken this approach several times before, L.A.’s relief corps once again rose to the occasion. It essentially meant the Dodgers had to rely on another bullpen game despite adding a fifth starter to the rotation. Tony Gonsolin made his 2021 debut but didn’t provide much length as he recorded only five outs. The Los Angeles Dodgers continued their dominance against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday, winning their 12th consecutive head-to-head matchup and earning a series victory.
