Getting Wright

Kyle Wright of the Braves used his curveball to turn his career around:

Last season, Wright began throwing more curveballs. That is his best pitch, and he felt it helped him gain some momentum in the second half of his season.

Wright came into tonight throwing curves 33% of the time, versus 16% for his career. He threw 35% curveballs Friday night against the Marlins, striking out eleven batters in six shutout innings to lower his ERA to 1.06. He entered the season with a 6.56 career ERA. The curve is turning him into an elite pitcher.

The Baves lead the Marlins 3-0 in the top of the eighth inning.
