Windup change has Berrios feeling confident

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- While his rookie season didn't go quite as planned, Twins right-hander Jose Berrios is ready to move on and believes a subtle change to his windup will help him bounce back this season.

The Twins had high hopes for Berrios, who entered last year as MLBPipeline.com's No. 19 prospect, but he struggled with an 8.02 ERA in 14 starts. Berrios worked with pitching coach Neil Allen on his arm action late last season, as there was some worry he was tipping pitches, particularly his changeup; hitters could see his grip when he took the ball behind his back before his delivery.
