Cristian Javier Has A Strikeout Problem Now

Related Topics: Cristian Javier

When researching topics to write about for today’s post, I initially fixed my sights, again, on Cristian Javier. I haven’t made it a secret in the past that he is my favorite pitcher currently on the Astros. There arguably isn’t a more intriguing pitcher on the entire staff, other than perhaps Framber Valdez. The pitching lab, if one may call it that, built in Houston — first by Brent Strom then continued by the pitching coach wonder duo of Joshua Miller and Bill Murphy — has produced plenty of success stories in recent years. But Javier’s version might go down as one of the greatest hits from this franchise’s recent contention cycle.
