Brayan Bello registered another quality start Friday. His latest came with a bit of a surprise, though.
The Red Sox’ young phenom threw nine cutters – a pitch he’d never thrown in a game before – in the 3-1 win over the White Sox. It ended up being a successful pitch for Bello, too. Eight of the nine cutters he threw landed in the strike zone, recording three outs on those pitches while giving up just one hit.
Bello’s cutter also traveled well for a pitcher who’d never thrown the pitch in a game before.
