Dodgers Dustin May Has Come Back with a New Pitch

Related Topics: Dustin May, J.P. Hoornstra

Dustin May has always had good “stuff.” His sinker touches 100 mph with arm-side run that has made some of the best hitters in baseball look silly, his cutter is low- to mid-90s with almost the opposite break of the sinker, and his low-80s curveball has a lot of potential.

But in his first three seasons in the big leagues, May was rarely as dominant as he should have been particularly against left-handed hitters.

For his career, May has allowed a .501 OPS to right-handed hitters and a .757 OPS to lefties. While his strikeout rate is actually slightly higher against righties — 26.
