GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Trevor Bauer spent his entire offseason developing a new slider, and he has continued to hone the pitch this spring. In his latest start, the Indians right-hander got to see how it worked in conjunction with the other offerings in his arsenal.
"I felt good," Bauer said after Monday's 4-2 win over the Rangers at Goodyear Ballpark. "It's the first time all spring I've thrown my full complement of pitches, so I was really encouraged by the slider and the curveball playing together, and how effective those were when paired together.
