I love it when a pitcher adds new pitches to their repertoire . It’s like a band dropping a new single. Sure, you’ll still hear the old hits, but there’s something fresh to wake you up and make you pay attention. So I was enthusiastic when the offseason brought the news that José Alvarado was adding a 4-seamer and curveball (or re-adding, rather). I made a note to myself to check up on how those pitches had turned out. Then I forgot about it (I was distracted by a number of things, including Jesús Luzardo’s sweeper).
Where are Alvarado’s New Pitches?
