Ryan Yarbrough is continuously evolving.
Back during the 2018 season he improved the balance of his pitch mix by slowing down his slider, and getting it to sweep more, and now he’s adjusted that pitch mix again. He’s slowed his cutter down, increased its cut and drop, and he’s thrown it more often.
And it’s working.
On July 14, he was three outs away from partnering with Ryne Stanek for the first ever combined perfect game, and yesterday, he was pulled for a right-handed pitcher while one out away from a complete game shutout.
