Washington Nationals’ Kyle Finnegan wants to build on 2021 campaign, and throw fewer fastballs...

Looking back at his 2021 campaign, and what he was able to accomplish in it, Kyle Finnegan told reporters on Tuesday he was happy he was able to do what he did last season (with a 3.55 ERA, 4.52 FIP, 34 walks, 68 Ks, 11 saves in 15 save opportunities, and a .251/.344/.404 line against in 68 games and 66 innings pitched) while working predominantly with just his sinker, which he threw 68.4% of the time.

Finnegan, 30, mixed in a slider (19.4%) and used a split fastball (12.2%), but for the most part it was his sinking fastball, which sat at 95.
