Hello fellow fans of baseball! My name is Ian Post, but you may know me as The_Don_Giggity over on Reddit's baseball and fantasybaseball subreddits. I started a series a couple weeks ago where I extensively broke down pitcher outings on guys such as Jose Berrios (here), Sean Manaea (here), Joe Ross (here), and Michael Fulmer (here), and I'm thrilled to continue the series here at Pitcher List. But enough about me, let’s get into why we’re really here.
We’re here to break down Lance McCullers’ second start of the 2016 season since being shut down in mid-March due to right shoulder discomfort. His first outing was foreseeably shaky, as he had the difficult task of going into Boston to face the AL’s most potent lineup (4.2 IP, 7 H, 5 ER, 3 BBs, 4 Ks, 89 pitches [55 strikes]) and his second start should give us a better idea of what to expect from the sophomore.
