		<description><![CDATA[First of all, thanks for reading. Second of all, don&#039;t be so hard on yourself for teaching art! Haha.

I looked into this and it turns out that, so far this season, Marcus Stroman has thrown 34.4% of his fourseam fastballs to the top third of the zone or higher. While he certainly prefers low (nearly 16% finish in the bottom third of the strikezone) he doesn&#039;t seem to avoid the top of the zone.

		<description><![CDATA[I get that Stroman has a good sinker, and it reduces the number of home runs he&#039;s going big to give up and keeps him in games longer. But he&#039;s got a good four seamer, and the top of the strike zone actually does exist. You&#039;d think he&#039;d chuck one in there every now and then. But he basically hasn&#039;t done that at all since returning from his injury. No idea why.]]></description>
