5 years agoNew York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka is reportedly working with former Yankee Andy Pettitte on his cutter. Tanaka effectively ditched the pitch last season, throwing it just 1.56% of the time. Over the past three years, Tanaka’s cutter has allowed a poor .424 xwOBA, the worst of any pitch in the 31-year-old’s arsenal. Adding another effective pitch would be beneficial for Tanaka, who owns a disappointing 4.34 ERA and 4.22 FIP for the last three years. Fantasy owners should monitor Tanaka’s pitch mix and be encouraged if his cutter becomes a weapon.--Sam Chinitz
