Returning to the major leagues after 376 days Pitcher Hill swallows up Strider: I'm not just coming back to play

Atlanta Warriors ace starting pitcher Spencer Strider, who was injured and had surgery at the beginning of the first two games of the new season last year, finally returned to the major league pitcher mound today after a gap of 376 days.The first shot failed to get out of the game after 6 innings, and was replaced by 97 shots.Although he achieved the milestone of the fastest 500 strikeouts, he was not satisfied with the Warriors' 1-3 result.He swallowed a losing shot in his first game of his comeback.

Returning to the game, Spencer Strider's four-seam fastball was between 94 and 97 miles per hour, but remained mostly low after two innings, and his signature slider was still sharp, and was knocked on the left field by the first hitter Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in six innings, and was replaced after four bad escorts to Anthony Santander, with a total of 58 good balls in 97 goals, five hits in five innings, five strikeouts, one four bads, and two points conceded.

The other point lost in the 2023 National League win and strikeout king also came from Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who was knocked out by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. after hitting a second home run by Bo Bichette, the first hitter, in three innings. Hit at the right time, Yang Chun Cannon was high four stitches, not counting the missed shot of the slider and being sniped.

"In my opinion, the delivery execution of the 2 blows (against Vladimir Guerrero Jr.) was not good. It felt like I wasn't confident enough to shoot slowly, and I wasn't consistent enough. This makes pitching difficult. "But my job isn't to come back and play for a while or something, I don't think so, I'm out to help the team."

Warriors head coach Brian Snitker echoed the ace's statement: "Spencer is very important for our club, especially for the rotating roster. Glad he's back. I think as long as he's on the pitch, he's going to get stronger. He is very courageous and very competitive. He's going to be OK."

Brian Snitker believes that the return of the ace is timely for the Warriors, who have won 5-6 after a seven-game losing streak to start the season, but they have not won in a row, and today's loss to the Blue Jays is also the second consecutive loss in addition to losing the series, and no team in MLB history can start the regular season with a 0-7 loss and still advance to the playoffs.

Spencer Strider shares this belief when he says, "We're not in a good position right now. It doesn't matter, the season has just begun. Somebody will want to question us, it's great, let them come, we'll prove who's right."
