One of the Red Sox’ deadliest pitchers could be even more lethal by next season.
Reliever John Schreiber appears to be adding a cutter to his arsenal. A video posted to the Driveline Baseball account on X shows Schreiber working on this cutter with former MLB pitcher Brandon Mann.
In this video, Schreiber details how he grips the baseball when he throws his new cutter, which he throws for the first time in the video at “slider speed.” After Mann tells him to “think more fastball,” Schreiber threw another cutter at 87 miles per hour, which was nearly eight more mph than the velocity of his first pitch.
