Yankees: MLB analyst Eduardo Perez explains what’s wrong with Sonny Gray
The Sonny Gray Yankees conundrum has caught the attention of ESPN MLB analyst and MLB Network radio co-host Eduardo Perez. On Wednesday, Perez shared his thoughts on Gray during his SiriusXM radio show, The Leadoff Spot.
According to former big leaguer, Eduardo Perez, Yankees pitcher Sonny Gray used to have much more confidence in his curveball. He compared Gray to former St. Louis Cardinals All-Star pitcher Woody Williams.
Williams would use his curve early in the count to get ahead of batters and late in the count as a putaway pitch. Over the years, Perez believes Gray has relied more on his two-seamer and has been uncomfortable on the mound in the Bronx.
