JUPITER, Fla. • Last season, Kevin Siegrist allowed four home runs.
Last postseason, Siegrist allowed three.
He also picked up the loss in the final playoff game to the Cubs, after allowing two homers, and we all wondered if his left arm was spent.
The Cardinal reliever pitched 74 2/3 innings in the regular season, logging 13 innings in each of the final three months of July, August and September.
Here at spring training, a rejuvenated Siegrist is trying something new, in hopes of keeping batters off-balance.
“He's learning a new breaking ball, a curveball, and it's got great spin,” Adam Wainwright said of his teammate.
