Three Pittsburgh Pirates pitchers who have made changes

Pitchers make adjustments all the time. After all, baseball is called the game of adjustments for a reason. The saying is "The League punches back", and those who are able to counter that are the ones who stick around and have success. A slight change in grip could add an extra few inches of break, or maybe mixing up pitches differently throws batters off more frequently, making a pitcher more effective in the process. Whatever the case may be, the Pittsburgh Pirates have gotten a lot of good pitching to start the 2024 season. This was not the expectation when starting the year, especially after Spring when arms like Carmen Mlodzinski and Colin Holderman were deemed not ready due to lack of innings pitched in Spring.

However many of their pitchers have significantly enhanced their performance by refining their skills and making strategic adjustments. Through diligent efforts and meticulous fine-tuning of their pitching repertoire, they have successfully altered their approach on the mound. By deploying pitches in novel ways, augmenting velocity, and refining the break, these pitchers have embarked on a transformative journey that has revitalized their game. So, let's embark on an exploration of the significant changes that several of the Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitchers have undergone thus far into the new campaign.
