ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Nathan Eovaldi is quietly becoming a star.
In many ways, he is the anti-Michael Pineda. He has made the adjustments that needed to be made to make the most of his golden arm.
Here’s how he developed the split-fingered fastball.
“It’s made me a different pitcher,” Eovaldi told The Post after the Yankees’ 2-1 win over the Rays on Sunday at Tropicana Field.
This all started two years ago in spring training, when pitching coach Larry Rothschild came up with the idea of teaching Eovaldi the forkball. Not so Eovaldi could use the forkball.
