Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman has been phenomenal since signing in Toronto the past few years but it has not been the same story so far this season.
Gausman stated he came back from his injury too early and it showed as his first few outing were quite terrible. He seemed to regain his form after that but he has yet to find his consistency as he has had great game as well as awful ones.
A recent stat shows how Gausman's fastball which is a pitch he relies on heavily on the mound has not been good this season. Gausman throws a fastball 48% of the time and batters have a batting average of .358 and .611 slugging percentage off of it this season.

Are you worried at all about Gaus?
While there is still time to turn this around, Gausman needs to make some much needed adjustments to his fastball if he plans on continuing to use it.
