BRADENTON, Fla. — The easiest way to describe Chad Kuhl as a pitcher is a sinkerballer. As a rookie in 2016, he leaned heavily on that primary offering in order to pound the strike zone and induce weak contact from opposing hitters.
But now, there’s a scouting report. Kuhl’s reputation is pretty well known around the league and he’s working to increase his repertoire this spring in order to keep opposing hitters off-balance.
“If you get a report on Chad Kuhl, they’re going to say, ‘Get the ball up. He’s going to sink the ball,’” explained manager Clint Hurdle.
