José Soriano's Dominant Start: Blue Jays Beware

0:00It's April 21st. Welcome to MLB News today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Angel's pitcher Jose Soriano is owning the mound right now with a 5-0 record, a 0.28 ERA, and a 0.73 Whip over his. First five starts. That's the best and all of Major League Baseball, straight dominance from the right-hander. Nobody saw this coming from a guy with a career 17 in 21 mark, a 3.89 ERA, and a 1.32 Whip coming in. Sure, his fastball was always elite and better than league average, but this level, total surprise. He's allowed just one run all season, a solo homer to the Braves Drake Baldwin on April 6th. Opponents are shut out otherwise, and hitters are struggling to even get two hits in a game against him. Dig deeper, and his hard hit rate has dropped to 30.9% from 48.2 last year, way below the league's 37%. Percent average. Exit velocities are down to 87 miles per hour, too, thanks to a sharpersinker,

1:05more 98 mile per hour, four seamers, splitters, knuckle curves, and sliders he's mixing like a pro. Now he faces the Blue Jays on Wednesday, a team that's seen him before, but against the old version. With their bats in the bottom half for OPS, good luck scratching our runs against this upgraded Soriano.
