His clear third pitch, Sale throws his changeup just over 15% of the time and has good downward movement on the pitch. In 2019, hitters had a good amount of success off the pitch as they slashed .279/.319/.523 which is good for a wRC+ of 126. The LD% off the pitch also jumped in 2019, making it interesting to see if Sale can bounce back with the pitch in 2020.
