A longtime Money Pitch, Cahill’s changeup posted its worst SwStr% since 2010 last year at 13.3%, and worst O-Swing% since 2013 at 41.9%. Despite it being the same pitch as in years’ past in terms of speed, movement and spin, its contact rates jumped both in and out of the zone, pushing it from a 9.3 pVAL down to -2.2.
