1 Positive and 1 Negative Takeaway from the Spring Breakout Game: It’s not the throw!

Rob Schumacher/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK

Positive: Justin Martinez now throws a sinker, and its an absolute hammer!

Justin Martinez has been a divisive player among Dbacks fans this past season. On 1 hand, you have a player who already holds the fastball velocity records for the Dbacks at just 21 Y/O last season at 102.7 MPH.

We like that, we want that to continue, but we feel like there’s a couple things he can hone in on. Fastball command and fastball consistency was number one for...

Spring Breakout 2024: Diamondbacks and Rockies

Rob Schumacher/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK

Does it matter? Should we care? How can we make it better?

This article started when I realized that I was the only SnakePit writer who had no real interest in the Spring Breakout Game. I thought that was strange and figured I was missing something about the game. After some research, I remain firmly in the “gimmick” camp.
