The changeup was an ineffective pitch for Loaisiga in 2019, likely owing to a minimal 7 mph velocity gap between it and the fastball. There is still potential there—the pitch yielded a minimal 10.0% fly-ball rate and weak contact, so there’s a possibility it can yet become a weapon for him as it was in the minors.
