Chris Tillman is trying to reinvent himself

Chris Tillman has changed his pitching arsenal early in 2016 and has received mixed results thus far. The increased usage of a cutter and sinker have changed the way Tillman pitches.

Chris Tillman has been a stalwart of the Orioles rotation since mid-2012. He has started three straight opening days. He is ostensibly the Orioles ace because no else is there to claim the mantle. Largely, he has been the same pitcher over the course of his Orioles career. A mid 90s four seam fastball, with a overhand curve ball, and a change up all with decent command and enough effectiveness to get the job done.
