Reasons why the Arizona Diamondbacks optioned Alek Thomas, once a top prospect, to Triple-A before Wednesday's game at Oakland.
OAKLAND, Calif. — Given that the Diamondbacks bullpen threw a combined 137 pitches Tuesday night, a move to add a new reliever before Wednesday’s game was inevitable. It’s the corresponding move, though, that holds more significance.
“We feel like he's just too talented for that,” Manager Torey Lovullo said before Wednesday's game against the Athletics. “Mostly because of what he does defensively. He's just too good of a player. And he should, with his hand-eye coordination, be an everyday player without giving any consideration as to who's pitching.”
“There's a lot of excessive movement with the lower half which is creating some force moving forward, I know to impact the baseball but I feel like it was changing his sightlines,” Lovullo said. “So we want him to slow some things down. And I think it's a lower half issue more than anything. So specifically, maybe getting grounded, spreading out a little bit. Not totally eliminating the leg kick but controlling the leg kick a little bit and specifically doing better left on left.
