Don’t forget about Bumgarner’s curveball
We just debuted “McDeep Dive”, our new series that will spotlight one Giants player every day for a week. We’ll move backwards and forwards through time, look at on the field stuff, off the field stuff, and see if we can learn something new about them. Here’s part 4 of our look at Madison Bumgarner.
In a typical Madison Bumgarner start, he’ll pound the inside corner with his fastball and use his slutter to trick hitters away and break their bats or jam them. And then, about 14% of the time, he’ll spin a curveball over the outside corner or out of the strike zone down and in. We’re in awe of the slutter, but entertained by the curveball.
