Jared Jones' Pitching Puzzle | Pittsburgh News
Description
Jared Jones is in a rough patch after a promising July, surrendering eight runs in his last start and seeing his ERA spike to 5.03 — but the real story? He’s over-relied on just his fastball and slider, ditching his changeup and curveball, which hitters are now exploiting. Struggling to throw his other pitches for strikes, he’s facing a tough adjustment mid-season, especially with injury recovery still fresh. Yet Jones remains confident, drawing from past comebacks and determined to fix what’s broken — because relying on two pitches as a starter isn’t sustainable, and he’s got the talent to turn it around.
