Cole Hamels is sharp again
It’s just the Grapefruit League right now, but it’s better to hear that Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels is looking very strong as opposed to him melting down on the mound after just two innings every time he suits up. But yes, Hamels was strong again on Tuesday as he allowed just two hits and one unearned run in five innings of work as the Phils beat the Detroit Tigers 6-1.
It’s not uncommon to see pitchers struggle in spring training as they work on new pitches or throw different pitches in situations where they wouldn’t normally. And Hamels is definitely trying new pitches as he has been mainly focusing on his curveball (he’s had it, but it never worked and he rarely threw it) and his new cutter. So far, it looks like the results have been favorable.
Hamels is 1-0 with a 1.69 ERA this spring.
“There’s all different gears in there that you have to respect now,” pitching coach Rich Dubee said.
And Hamels threw his most devastating pitch, the changeup, just eight times. This is amazing for anyone who has watched Hamels work the past few years.
“I was really focused on throwing curveballs,” Hamels said in a high-pitched voice. “I threw a couple for first-pitch strikes. I threw a couple back-to-back to hitters. It’s just knowing I can get myself in a situation when I can throw it. That’s what really allows me to execute. Throwing the cutter, I thought I threw some pretty good ones to hitters.”
Hamels is the lynch pin of the Phils starting rotation. If he returns to 2008 form with even more pitches that he can trust, then he and Halladay might be the filthiest 1-2 punch in the NL, if not all of MLB.

Im not gonna lie, youve lost me here. I know that you just meant well and you clearly know what youre discussing, but I cant say that I get where youre coming from. In case you want folks to recognize your points, you should take into consideration the other side of the argument, too. Youve got a wealth of knowledge, Ill give you that. But, pretty frankly, you turned me off together with your tone.

Hey I just wanted to let you know, I definitely love the written material on your website. But I am using Chromium on a device operating version 9.04 of Ubuntu and the look and feel aren’t very satisfying. Not a powerful deal, I can still essentially look over the posts and look for info, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is type of challenging to use with the config I’m operating. Keep up the superb job!
