Pirates Prospects Daily: Mike Burrows’ New Pitch A Good Development
Pitchers and catchers reported to Spring Training at the beginning of the week, although most had already arrived. One of the more interesting things early in camp has been the addition of a new pitch for prospect Mike Burrows.
Already armed with one of the best fastballs and curveballs, as well as a changeup he made great progress with, Burrows flashed a new slider this week, shown in a great side-by-side video by Alex Stumpf below. Alex had more about the pitch in a recent post on DK Pittsburgh Sports.
Couple of Mike Burrows videos. First is his curveball. Second is his new slider.
