What happened: Bubba Chandler's arsenal is drawing closer scrutiny, with MLB.com zeroing in on the movement and usage of his pitches. The attention follows recent strikeout-heavy work from Chandler.

Why it matters: A pitch-level read gives a clearer sense of what is driving Chandler's swing-and-miss profile beyond a single outing. It also adds to the spotlight on the same Bubba Chandler who limited damage across 5 2/3 innings in August.

By the numbers: Recent reaction cited Chandler for six strikeouts through four innings on 78 pitches, with two strikeout pitches above 100 mph.

What to watch: The next marker is whether Chandler keeps pairing whiffs with manageable pitch counts as the season moves on.
