Yankees struggle against Phillies, King's velocity drops.
Michael King's velocity was down during the Yankees' loss to the Phillies due to his mechanics being out of whack, not because of his elbow. King believes his timing is off, causing him to try to generate power early in his mechanics, which is hurting his velocity. Despite not giving up any home runs, King allowed four hits and two inherited runners to score while recording four outs. The Yankees hope the new pitch clock will save players' legs by reducing the time they spend standing.
