It’s safe to say that fantasy owners who waited on Devil Rays pitcher Scott Kazmir to make his season debut, were less than thrilled with his effort last Sunday (six hits, three earned runs, and three walks while striking out five in four innings against the Red Sox). The good news is that Kazmir identified a flaw in his pitching mechanics that he believes is to blame for the lackluster performance and expects to be much improved going forward.
“Maybe I was a little bit too amped up,” Kazmir told MLB.com. “I don’t know what it was, but I was just flying open with everything. Everything felt good until right when I was about to throw the ball [in the first inning], then I would just fly open. My front side would not stay closed. It was just me trying to find my release point the whole game.”
Both Kazmir and pitching coach Jim Hickey were confident that any issues had been addressed following Wednesday’s bullpen session, and it seems as though fantasy owners shouldn’t hesitate to leave the Rays ace active for his next start.
