A surprise for premium subs—Below are transcriptions of conversations I’ve had with pitchers throughout April. I’ve lightly edited the conversations below for clarity.
Bobby Miller on his slider gaining velo
Lance: Looking at your slider between this year and last year, the pitch is harder and you’ve added some sweep. Was that a conscious tweak you targeted?
Bobby Miller: That’s something I attacked this offseason and spring, really trying to pair it with my fastball. (On April 5th) it changed compared to how it looked in my prior start. I really want it to be above 90 (mph). 90, 91, 92.
