San Diego Padres pitcher Joe Musgrove had his ears checked for a possible foreign substance against the New York Mets in Game 3 of the NLWC on Sunday.
Baseball began to strictly monitor pitchers for the use of"sticky stuff" that aided with gripping the ball and increasing spin rate. In addition to having their gloves, hats and belts checked by umpires, pitchers are also subject to random inspection of their fingers and hands...and ears, evidently.
The 29-year-old Musgrove, making the first postseason start of his career, opened the game with four perfect innings. He surrendered his first hit in the fifth, a leadoff single to Pete Alonso, but allowed no further damage. The right-hander, who had struck out four and walked none at the time of the substance check, had been pitching with an increased spin rate throughout the game.
Here are Joe Musgrove’s spin rates on every pitch tonight versus his average spin rate for the season. You can see by the arrows on the right that the spin rate on all but one pitch is up by at least 100 rpm.
