But Mac isn't an over powering pitcher. His stuff is pretty average. He's got to attack the batter instead of nibbling. If they hit it or if we sail it into the dugout, then so be it, but by nibbling, he raises his pitch count up which doesn't allow him to go deep into games, and then he gives them free passes.
