JUPITER, Fla. -- Spring Training, particularly for veteran pitchers like Charlie Morton, is a time to experiment with pitches. Morton, at 34 years old, is looking to add a changeup to his diverse repertoire.
The right-hander had a tough time finding the strike zone with his fastball early in Saturday's 6-6 tie with the Marlins at Roger Dean Stadium, his third start of camp. So he turned his focus to what will be -- if it progresses accordingly -- the sixth pitch in his arsenal.
"I think it'll be a good pitch for me to mix in off my fastball, work off my sinker to righties and lefties," Morton said.
