CC Sabathia has a totally new mindset now
CC Sabathia is slated to start Monday for the first time since he became the 17th pitcher in MLB history to record 3,000 strikeouts and he expects to have a different mindset than he did for his other outings this season.
He admitted on Sunday the chase for 3,000 weighed on him, even when he was on the mound at times.
“I’m just gonna be thinking about getting outs now and worrying about the batter and helping us win games,’’ Sabathia said before the Yankees earned a 4-1 rain-shortened win over the Twins in the The Bronx on Sunday.
