One of the Pittsburgh Pirates players at Pirate Fest yesterday was left-handed pitcher Steven Brault. At Pirate Fest, Brault met with the media to discuss his offseason. Coming off his third MLB season in which he pitched a career high 91 2/3 innings, Brault spent the offseason looking for ways to refine his craft. What changes did the 26-year-old lefty make in preparation for the 2019 season?
One change Brault made was to begin a 12 month throwing program. With his, he will not have any time off from throwing during the calendar year. This can help a pitcher with repeating their delivery and avoid rust.
