After nearly two decades as a MLB pitcher, C.C. Sabathia has probably forgotten more than most of us know about baseball.
The crafty veteran is in the middle of his 19th season and remains effective as he nears the end of his career, and as his approach has been greatly altered over the years. Once a fastball-dominant pitcher early in his career, Sabathia has adapted over time and maintains the ability to be an effective pitcher, even as he’s now facing off against hitters that are as much as 18 years younger than him.
In fact, Sabathia got to do just that on Monday night when he toed the rubber against the Blue Jays and their young lineup.
