Red Sox Pitcher Shows Off Developing Pitch In Offseason Workout
Even in a down season, the Boston Red Sox featured a talented bullpen with a number of quality leverage relievers.
With time to improve in the offseason, one pitcher is getting to work to add another pitch to his arsenal.
John Schreiber posted a 3.86 ERA in 46 appearances this season to add to backend arms such as Josh Winckowski, Chris Martin and Kenley Jansen. With still room to grow, the 29-year-old is working on a cutter this offseason to further attacks hitters and offer a number of looks on the mound.
In a new workout video with Driveline Baseball, Schreiber details the grip, the action of the pitch from his arm slot and what he hopes to find in adding the cutter.
The righty appears to be looking for another pitch to change the eye level of hitters from his normal sweeping breaking ball.
In 2023, Schreiber featured a fastball, sinker, slider and changeup as he works on the cutter.
Schreiber looks to lead the charge in a standout bullpen for a potentially improved Red Sox squad in 2024. When rested and not overtaxed, the bullpen can once again be one of the best in baseball next season.
