Yoho’s Coffee Bet and Strike Zone Struggles

About this episode

The episode discusses Craig Yoho's control issues during his time with the Brewers and a unique wager made by his pitching coach to improve his performance.

Craig Yoho’s brief Brewers stint last season was derailed by control issues—he barely stayed in the strike zone 44% of the time. To fix it, pitching coach Jim Henderson turned to a coffee-fueled wager: points for strikes, penalties for balls. Yoho admits he overcomplicated things, walking two batters in a row with a four-run lead. Despite dominating in the minors, MLB hitters weren’t falling for his wild stuff. Called up again this week, he only pitched twice before heading back to Triple-A. The coffee’s on him—and he’s focused on throwing strikes consistently to earn more than just a cup next time.
