Episode Details

Hunter Dobbins’ baseball journey just got a whole lot more dramatic — traded from Boston to St. Louis, he’s now thriving under a new pitching philosophy. After tearing his ACL last season, Dobbins bounced back with a strong relief outing against the Cubs — and his dad, Lance, took to social media to claim the Red Sox held him back by banning sinkers, while St. Louis is letting him throw them freely. The stats back it up: Dobbins barely used sinkers in Boston, but now he’s throwing them more than ever — and his four-seam fastball usage has dropped. It’s a clash of pitching philosophies, and while it’s too early to say if Dobbins is better off, the Cardinals’ approach is clearly different — and maybe smarter — than Boston’s past strategy.
