BALTIMORE — LHP Drew Smyly will give the Orioles a different look tonight when he faces them at Camden Yards: a changeup.
It’s a pitch Smyly has been throwing since he pitched in Little League, but he has finally committed to it this year.
“It’s always been tough for me to throw it for strikes and have trust in the command,” Smyly said. “But so far this year I’ve enjoyed it, and I think I finally got it down.”
Smyly mixed in a changeup to five of the first six Blue Jays he faced Monday during his first start of the season.
