The veteran of Texas Rangers delivers another solid start in the area of ​​rotation point

Tyler Mahle tried to build on his former goalless excursion for the Texas Rangers against the Cincinnati Reds in a matinee in the Goodyear Park in Goodyear, Ariz.

In his third start of the spring, Mahle accumulated four inner rings and allowed a deserved run with two goals while he was three and ran two. He threw a total of 57 parking spaces and used a mixture of 34 fast balls with four seats (60%), 13 splinters (23%), seven sliders (12%) and three tailors (5%).

Mahle's Fastball had an average of 91.1 miles per hour, somewhat below his average of 2024, but a few ticks under his pre-operation of 2023.

Although the reds did not present their full line -up, Mahle managed to keep the damage minimally. He allowed a few barrels, but both led to Outs, with Levi Jordy out at 102.1 miles per hour and Sal Stewart for a 6-4-3 double game at 101.2 miles per hour to complete the afternoon from Mahle.

Both hits came on splinters that Mahle did not control. Both stayed in the strike zone, none of the ball was hit hard, but Gavin Lux and Jacob Hurtubise managed to get them solidly on them.

After the game, Mahle thought about his performance and noticed his command while talking to Texasrangers.com after playing.

“It felt good, I ordered the ball, I threw a lot, got a few deep counts and went a few boys. But I think I hit my places, we were missing through hair. So I felt good with my things and where I localized it, ”he said.

He also praised the catcher Kyle Higashioka for his reception, which indicates that he may have stolen a few strikes.

Mahle recorded his third strike of the game with a well -placed slider, the Santiago Espinal in Air Schwang. This is a promising sign for Mahle, which indicates that he has a better feeling for his third place, especially since his fastball was a bit at optimal speed.

If he continues to mix his parking spaces effectively and improves his command, Mahle could secure a stain in the rotation of the Rangers. Jon Gray, Cody Bradford and Jack Leiter will make their cases for the three available places this weekend.

Since Jacob Degrom celebrates his spring debut on Friday, the Rangers begin to consolidate their rotation before the regular season. A six-man rotation can be considered because Degrom, Nathan Eovaldi, Head and Mahle will be on the number of pitch for various reasons.

Mahle threw little last season when he was from Tommy John surgery at the end of his recovery and then suffered shoulder pain.

So that the Rangers can compete in Al West in 2025, the maintenance of the health of their pitching staff is of crucial importance.
