TORONTO – One of the more subtle and least discussed changes Marcus Stroman made on the mound this year is a deliberate slowing of a pace that used to rank among the quickest in baseball.
The Toronto Blue Jays right-hander remains among the fastest workers in the game with an average of 22.6 seconds between pitches, according to Fangraphs’ pace calculation. But that’s two seconds slower than 2016 and four seconds off his blazing pace of 18.7 in 2015.
