Only thing I worry about with a cutter is that he’s already cutting his fastball. So if you add a cutter and it’s like 91-92, there’s a chance it just makes the four-seam even worse. It’s hard to differentiate shapes the more gyro you add.
The fastball to lefties is better than righties too, so I’m not really sure on the purpose of the cutter.
I thought I saw online somewhere that it was to refine the slider? And the expectation is that he brings it back. Bring that back and a sinker if they’re serious about him being a starter.
The White Sox Drew Thorpe coming up tomorrow reminds me a lot of Ian Anderson actually!
