Hoover collected his fifth hold of the season after retiring both of the batters he faced via strikeout during Tuesday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

With his fastball velocity up a tick from 2016, Hoover has been able to raise his K/9 rate to a career-high 13.2, but he's still issuing too many free passes, which has been a problem throughout his six MLB seasons. Hoover has at least been able to avoid the home-run ball for the most part, and so long as he continues to do that, he'll remain a key part of the Diamondbacks' late-inning mix.
