SAN DIEGO — Kyle Freeland is ready for his encore, and he’s added a new twist to his act.
Actually, make that a curve.
It’s a pitch he hopes to utilize Tuesday night when he make his season debut in the Rockies’ game against the Padres at Petco Park.
“It’s a pitch I wanted to develop, with the goal to be able to throw it in any count,” Freeland said Monday.
The Rockies’ left-hander, coming off an impressive rookie season, knew that he needed another pitch in his repertoire, so he began tinkering with a curveball back in December.
