Singer's Struggles: Reds Pitcher's Inconsistency

0:00It's May 2nd, this is MLB News, today your AI-powered source for everything, MLB. Brady Singer's season with the Reds has been wildly inconsistent, far from the steady picture we know. Friday night against the Pirates, they lost 9-1 and Singer surrendered four runs on seven hits in just three and a third innings that pushed his ERA to 5.57. Singer owned up after the game, saying he failed to execute pitches, leaving too many over the plate for damage. It's a pattern all year struggling to finish innings and keep things together. In his start so far, he's looked sharp in four but got shelled in the other three, showing that boom or bust vibe. The deeper stats paint a rough picture, hitters of barreling him up with an average exit velocity of 92.1 miles per hour, his career. Worst and bottom 6% league-wide. His whiff rates dipped to 18%, lowest ever, and batters are raking his sinker at 356 with a 6-21 slugging.

1:00Better command is key for Singer, since his stuff isn't elite. He's got to spot those pitches sharper to turn this around and regain that reliability.
