Masterson’s sinker is truly one of a kind. He consistently throws it 93+, which is almost unheard of for a sinker (and unhittable, when its located).

42% of Masterson’s sinkers were 93+ last year. The next highest % among SPs was Rick Porcello at 29%.

It’s a dominant pitch. He just needs to get control of his mechanics again so he can continue to keep it low in the zone.
