SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Adam Ottavino doesn’t subscribe to a pitchers shopping catalog of stuff. If he needs cuticle cream or blister glue or shoe cement, he asks for it. And for the hard-to-find item, he knows a guy.
“I just called up the number and talked to him,” the Rockies right-hander said. “What do I need? What do I want?”
Ottavino was seeking the latest in pitching technology, a high-speed camera so finely detailed that he can see the spin on his wide-angle slider. So he bought one, an Edgertronic SC2, a boring little box with one big benefit.
