15:02 PM: The Guardians have had their best game against Cortes this year: 5.9% Barrels, 23.5% Hit-Hard with 17 batted balls. As you can see here, they “defended” the low-out corner better against left-handed hitters (and inside against right-handers), a point that Nasty tends to “warm up”.
14:55 PM: Cortes' speed continues to improve, in fact I think he's been amazing in this Game 2 of the ALDS vs. Cleveland.
14:50 PM: Néstor Cortés finally dominated Josh Naylor, the only left-handed hitter to hit a HR against him in the regular season (April 23, vs. low slider on a 1-1 count).
● Nasty closed out his fifth inning in this Game 2 of the ALDS vs. Cleveland: 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 K, 3 BB, 64/92.
14:43 PM: T-5: Amed Rosario's home run sensationally ties the game, 2-2!
● Cleveland hitters have hit 3-HRs against Cortés this year: two are from Rosario (July 2 at Progressive Field, and this afternoon at Yankee Stadium), both against 93 and 91 mph fastballs.
14:34 PM: T-4: Single by Andrés Giménez drives in the first run of the Guardians vs. Nestor Cortes. But then, once again, Nasty neutralized José Ramírez by throwing a cutter at him.
13:54 PM: The receivers who have worked with Néstor Cortés in 2022, and the performance of their opponents. The duo with Treviño has been magnificent to challenge and dominate the opponents:
-Jose Treviño: .177/.236/.263, .499, OPS
-Kyle Higashioka: .204/.247/.380, .627 OPS
1:51 PM: First out of the third inning, runner on first: Myles Straw just grounded out for the ninth straight time against Nasty this year.
13:48 PM: Cortés continues to dominate in the corners of the strike zone and, above all, surprises with his four-seam fastball and the cutter in high zones. Great job from Nasty and his drum mates.
13:42 PM: The year of "these" Yankees? ... Only teams with at least 250 HR and 100 SB in a Major League season:
