#Mariners LHP Yusei Kikuchi with a 92mph SLIDER. Frontdoor's #Astros Michael Brantey for the strikeout.
After sitting 92FB/86SL most of 2019, Kikuchi was largely 95FB/90SL during spring training and Summer Camp.
Could be in line for a breakout campaign if the command holds. pic.twitter.com/2Egc9wcjYh
