Manoah supremely focused after 'unacceptable' postseason debut ScottyMitchTSN has MORE:
Instead of celebrating a win and a series lead in Game 1 last October against the Seattle Mariners, Alek Manoah sat solemnly at his locker, staring at nothing for at least 10 minutes as he tried to figure out how he had his worst start of the year in the biggest moment.
Manoah leaves room for the obvious follow-up: What did he learn from that rough outing, one that saw him gut out 5.2 innings? His plunking of M’s star Julio Rodriguez was a game-changer, leading to the first-inning outburst that did the Jays in. Left-handed hitters have been the big righty’s one problem area at times, and finding a new approach against them could unlock even more.
He also believes the pitch clock is going to become an advantage for him, which makes sense because Manoah’s tempo when he’s rolling is quick.
