SURPRISE, Ariz.
Wade Davis pitched the fifth inning Friday afternoon against the Angels. Look on MLB.com and it shows the Royals’ reliever throwing nothing but fastballs and a curve; but ask Davis himself and he’ll say he threw a changeup.
As we walked from one practice field to another Saturday morning, I asked Davis if he threw a changeup on Friday and he said yeah, he did. I then asked if he was going to start using the changeup this season and Davis said he used the changeup last season.
Wade Davis threw a changeup in 2015 — as in one, single changeup all season.
