Don't look now, but Chris Tillman only has one start this year above 3 ER, while he's holding a 9.33 K/9 and a SIERA + xFIP - gasp - under 4.00 after going 7.0 IP, 0 ER, 5 Hits, 2 BBs, 7 Ks last night. The main reason for his improved performance is a greater reliance on his Slider, doubling in usage from 7.2% to 15.6%. But the crazier jump is the pitch's whiff rate, which has climbed from 7.1% to 19.5%. That's an absurd boost, and one that I'm not sure I buy yet. The pitch is being thrown with the same velocity and nearly identical movement.
The biggest change is the location: Here's a heatmap of his Sliders from 2015, and here's Slider locations in 2016. So Tillman is effectively getting the pitch down and away from right-handers, but still well over the plate. Batters aren't chasing it out of the zone, and I'm leaning to believe the higher whiff rate is more of an unexpected approach than an overpowering dominance. Hitters aren't anticipating this frequency of Sliders, nor their locations down and away from Tillman. Once the league addresses it, I think we'll be seeing the Tillman of old. There is a chance the ride keeps going, and if you need a SP with Tillman on the wire, by all means see how it plays out. I'd sell high if I have a craving owner, though.
