I think it’s kind of a “chicken and egg” thing. Is he relying on the slider too much because he’s lost control on the fastball? Or is he trying to use sliders to set guys up and get them out with fastballs? Or is it something else? I think the fact that the cutter has popped up again and is somewhat replacing his fastball suggests to me that he’s having an issue controlling it and has felt more comfortable throwing his slider.

This causing him to throw more sliders which are not as easily controlled leading to good hitters counts.
