The Mets are reinventing the sinker, and Yankees pitchers should follow suit
After losing the World Series to the Kansas City Royals, the New York Mets are trying to show that they are legitimate contenders once again. Entering yesterday's game, they were tied for the division lead, even with Matt Harvey struggling out of the gate. Last season, they became known for their signature 90-mph sliders, as pointed out by Eno Sarris at FanGraphs. This year, they are doing something similar, with a few of their starters throwing the same kind of sinker.
