Wagner threw a slider?
Yep, and a damn good one.
Those were his two pitches. He got hit when he hung a slider or missed his fastball a little high.
About a 90 mph slider
I seem to recall he learned the slider from Trevor Hoffman during an offseason in the late 90s.
Yes, I know, that was a bad joke about him pumping FBs to Jim Leyritz in the playoffs.

I did not know to what you were referring, but I did have sense enough left (barely) to know you were joking.

“I really wasn’t thinking too deeply about any choice, any situation I was in,” Singleton said. “I was doing what was right in front of me.”
Today, he has a different perspective.
“I had to get away from baseball in order for things to slow down and for me to personally hit that reset button,” Singleton said. “I made some changes in my personal life with my friends and family and stuff like that, and ultimately, that led me to better habits.
“It gave me new opportunities as well, you know? I opened a gym last year. That was a big starter for me to come into this organization. I’ve been working so hard. And also it shows these little kids that it doesn’t matter what you did – if you put forth the work, you can make things happen.”
Also:
“Singleton, who is eligible for the start of the 2022 season (whether that’s in the Minors or the Majors), is one of a number of former top prospects getting a shot with the Brewers. Coincidentally, also among them is Tyler White, who happened to be called up by the Astros the last time Singleton was sent down.”
Good luck to the both of them.
