Justin Verlander gives his opinion on starting pitchers throwing fewer innings in the MLB

Houston Astros veteran pitcher Justin Verlander has spent over two decades in the major leagues and is not a fan of how analytics are changing the role of starting pitchers.

According to analytics today, teams have more success when they pull out their starter in their third round against the opposing lineup. Hence, teams are relying more on their bullpen. Speaking on the topic recently, Verlander said:

“Right now, it’s an epidemic. Throw as hard as you can for as long as you can, have a couple of big, nasty off-speed pitches and the second you get in any trouble, which analytics say is usually the third time through the lineup, you’re out.”

According to Justin Verlander, this trend will have its effects felt all the way to the grassroots of the sport, and upcoming pitchers will not have the ability to throw complete games.

While he doesn't claim to have an answer to the problem, he pointed it out as an important issue that could affect MLB starting pitchers in the near future.
