Whisox05 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I know when sale came back last year from injury the sox were trying to get him to use less of the slider and more changeups and fastballs. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2015/04/14/spi...ite-sox-season/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisox05 Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 I know the slider is one of the pitches that puts alot of wear on the arm. That's why the sox were trying to get sale to cut back and go with other pitches and guessing trying to get rodon to cut back on his as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 The change to the righties also seems to be a much, much stronger weapon than the slider when thrown by a LHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILMOU Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 10:11 AM) The change to the righties also seems to be a much, much stronger weapon than the slider when thrown by a LHP. Especially when it's placed near the lower, outer portion of the plate with late drop. Rodon has left some changes high in the times I've seen him - those will get hit. Realize it's a work in progress - if it gets to a Sale level, oh my, he will have a devastating repertoire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunt Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Sale used quite a few changeups on Sunday. Didnt seem to need the slider much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
