It’s definitely a very suspicious video. But in Mracna’s defense:

1. No, he has not been “lit up all season”. He had a 4.24 ERA going into last night. Which is honestly about average for a starter

2. He’s always been a high strikeout guy. 57 K in 36 IP this season

3. Sticky stuff mostly improves spin rate, not velocity, and he was shoving fastballs down their throat last night.


That video definitely doesn’t look good for him. But a lot of fake news being spread by Aggies on Twitter saying Mracna was basically a total bum before last night. Definitely not the case


Not all fastballs are the same. The rotation on them does matter.

^----This.

Gives a 4 seam more carry, ie it doesn't drop as much and gives a 2 seam a harder break.

Not a good look for Georgia. Expect to have gloves, hats and hands examined the rest of the season.

Georgia earned that game at the plate, but it says a lot about the coaches there.
