Bubba Chandler Dominates with Eight Strikeouts in Spring Start

Bubba Chandler delivered a strong performance Thursday against Atlanta, striking out eight batters over five innings of one-run ball while allowing only one hit and one walk. After a shaky start to spring training, Chandler found success by leaning heavily on his four-seam fastball, which averaged 98.2 mph and generated a 34 percent whiff rate. Despite his inconsistency this spring, including a 1.45 WHIP, this outing highlights his potential.
