Between the flashes of brilliance, there have been stumbles as well, namely when it comes to the end of Soriano’s outings when his 100-mph fastball takes its toll on his stamina.
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher José Soriano throws during the first inning of a baseball game against the Cleveland Guardians in Anaheim, Calif., Saturday, May 25, 2024. Credited by some metrics as the hardest throwing pitcher in baseball, getting Angels right-hander Jose Soriano up to speed as a major league starter continues to be a work in progress.
Soriano closed his 91-pitch outing with three scoreless innings, giving him his fourth start this season of at least 90 pitches and his second consecutive. But one errant pitch caused him trouble when Cleveland’s Brayan Rocchio scored on a wild pitch in the third inning for a 2-0 lead. The one in the strike zone that was an issue came three pitches later when Jose Ramirez hit a 3-2 curveball into the seats in right field for a 4-0 lead.
Soriano’s ability to refocus came after the Angels answered the Guardians’ four runs in the third with three of their own in the bottom of the frame. Kyren Paris walked with one out, Luis Rengifo doubled with two outs and Taylor Ward hit a home run to left, his 11th of the season.
