Snake Bytes, 6/26: Ready for the Rays

[SI] Ryne Nelson Shoves for Seven Strong Innings in Win - Nelson came into the game having thrown his fastball 55% of the time and his changeup just 12%. But today he used all his pitches, dropping the fastball usage to 47% (42 in total), using his change a whopping 25 times, and getting seven swings and misses with the pitch. The most swings and miss he had with the change in a game before today was three. If this is the evolution of a young pitcher maturing the D-backs may yet have the strong third starter they are looking for.
