“I really felt like I just had one pitch for the most part, and it was my cutter,” Erick Fedde told reporters, as quoted by MASN’s Mark Zuckerman, after throwing five scoreless against LA’s Angels in Anaheim last week, giving up just two hits, but walking five batters in the 97-pitch turn in the Washington Nationals’ rotation.
Fedde, 29, said the fact that he got through five scoreless without his best stuff helped to build some confidence.
“If anything, it gives me more confidence just to have a lot of success with [the cutter],” he said.
