Waldez (7-4, 3.10 ERA) stated that he prefers an affordable approach to his pitch compared to those who are inflated due to a large amount of strikeouts.
“I have always said that every time I strike more, it means that I throw more pitches,” Waldez told reporters. “That’s why I try to pitch more to contact or try to get more groundouts and flyouts, and thus I (long).”
31-year-old Waldez hit a season-high 12 in five innings in a 4-3 win over Chicago White Sox last Thursday. He gave two runs and seven hits.
