One of my favorite things to do every season is to look at pitchers, and especially breakout pitchers, and see if they have changed anything about their arsenals. So, with the team coming out of the break, that’s what I set out to do.
There are quite a few breakout pitchers this year, and, unsurprisingly, I found plenty of changes. From arsenal adjustments to velocity gains to new pitch shapes, we’ll cover all the things that a few of the breakout arms have changed.
In this article, I’ll focus on Packy Naughton (everybody’s favorite arm), Junior Fernandez, and Johan Oviedo.
