Luke Hudson had control problems last night while pitching for the Omaha Royals. In his four innings of work against Memphis, he gave up four runs (only two were earned), 4 BB, 4 H and 1 HR. He did have 7 strike outs, but he left several pitches up in the strike zone and he's not sure why.
Here's Tom Bergmeier's (Omaha's pitching coach) assessment of Hudson's performance: "His fastball command wasn't what it should be, but his stuff was good. (His) curveball was real sharp, (he) got four or five strikeouts on that. When you're ahead in the count and have a curveball like that, a lot of them are going to swing and miss. But a couple of times he'd throw the curve (early in the count), then throw a couple of fastballs and end up walking guys."
After the game, Hudson was watching his performance on video trying to fix his delivery. Here's a link to an article in the Omaha World Herald about Hudson's outing.
