Zack Greinke

Off to another great start this year. But the low strikeout is really bothering me. Who else is wondering why he can't get any strikeouts? I watched all his starts so far. Throwing 90-94mph fastball, changeup looks nasty, slider and curve are ok pitches that does its job when located. Yet it looks like he can't strike anybody out if his life depends on it. To be fair he has pitched brilliant and I'm just nitpicking here. He's done a great job of inducing weakly hit balls. But is this low strikeout rate going to catch up to him. He reminds me of a Greg Maddux in his prime to me now, locate his pitches, let hitters hit into outs, but then again, Greg struck out more during his prime than Greinke's horrible K number now.

PS: wooo, a catch at the wall for Teahen, almost a HR.
