Alek Manoah's Rookie Ball Debut: 11 Runs, 10 Hits, 2 2/3 Innings
Blue Jays pitcher Alek Manoah had a rough outing in rookie ball, allowing 11 runs on 10 hits in just 2 2/3 innings. This comes after his demotion from the major leagues due to a poor start to the season. Manoah, who was an All-Star and Cy Young Award finalist last year, has been struggling with a decline in velocity and movement on his slider. The Blue Jays are hoping that working with their pitch lab in the complex league will help him regain his form, but it looks like a long and difficult road ahead.
