Left-hander has been one of MLB's best relievers when he has been on the field, which has not been very often
The last two times Drew Pomeranz pitched in a game, he could not bear to do it again.
There is still no telling when or whether Pomeranz will be ready. That is not questioning anything about his desire or work to do so. That is simply the reality of what happens when a pitcher doesn’t pitch. Pomeranz missed 10 days in 2020 with a shoulder impingement but was otherwise healthy. He was close to finishing that COVID-shortened season essentially perfect, the three runs he allowed in a meaningless game in the final series being the only ones he yielded in 20 appearances .
Pomeranz returned form the IL in late June and made 13 appearances over the next six weeks, allowing three runs in 12 innings. His strikeouts were down quite a bit, and his fastball velocity was down a little. But there was little to indicate the intense pain he was experiencing. “I was dying and I was still trying to get out of that outing,” Pomeranz said. “And then I had a guy two strikes. He dinked one, I was like, ‘! I gotta throw a fastball again.’ And that’s when I was like, ‘I can’t do it.’ I just couldn’t. I had nothing left.
His arm didn’t feel great, and he was having difficulty getting outs in a timely fashion. But it was minor leagues, so he was mostly faring well.
