Eno Sarris had an interesting article the other day. Shocking, I know. You should read the whole article, but our focus here at DRB is on a chart Sarris included, in particular four of the top six names on that chart.
Of the players to see the biggest increase in sliders+cutters this season from last, four of the top six are Rays: Willy Adames (2nd), Tommy Pham (3rd), Brandon Lowe (5th), Yandy Diaz (6th).
It is early enough that I am not here to say that this is something pitchers, writ large, are doing more often in their attack against Rays hitters.
