Gio Gonzalez reported to Yankees camp on Thursday afternoon and threw his first bullpen with the team. Interestingly, it was also reported he has a new weapon in his arsenal this year -- a cutter. We obviously haven’t seen how Gonzalez plans to utilize this pitch in games just yet, but we do know some age-related decline has started to take its toll on Gonzalez’s stat-line. Fortunately enough, the Yankees also employ two other pitchers who frequently utilize cutters. If Gio Gonzalez can utilize his cutter similar to CC Sabathia and James Paxton, he could stave off another decline year.
