Blake Snell had been recovering from an elbow issue, which led to him making many rehab starts in the minors.
Here is a full clip of a question Snell was asked about his pitches:
Snell then added: “Salt Lake was so difficult.”
“If I played in Salt Lake growing up, I don’t know if I’d be here today, I promise you.”
