Sometimes in life, it’s ‘just a matter of time.’
This can be commonly referred to when someone is looking for a big break, a family matter to subside, a new project to be finished, or a talented baseball prospect to find their grove.
There’s no sugarcoating it, Mitch Keller was a different pitcher in 2022.
The year began similar to the previous three seasons for the 26-year-old right-hander, struggling to keep runners off the bases and lacking the ability to pitch out of jams.
Everything changed when Keller embraced throwing a sinker, a pitch that single-handedly changed the course of his career with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
