MLB:
What pitch mix and sequence led Pepiot to that six-inning stretch with two hits allowed and one run?
Qwiket AI:
Pepiot leaned on fastball- slider depth, attacking early in counts and expanding the zone with a pairing that kept Oakland off balance. The slider bite and chase pitches were key for early outs, creating soft contact and inducing grounders. The changeup came as a complementary look to keep hitters from sitting fastball. His ability to command the zone with pace set the tone for the six-inning stint.
