Corbin Burnes has a mighty deceptive changeup that has improved even further in June with more movement.
In the third inning against the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday, Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Smith stepped into a swing. As he loaded up to cut, it looked like his read on the ball was solid. But as he started to swing, the pitch suddenly darted toward the outside of the zone, out of reach for the left-handed batter.Such has been the fate for several batters attempting to hit Corbin Burnes's changeup in June.And since June, Burnes has gotten the pitch to behave more like one.
Seasonally, the changeup has produced a batting average of .088 and a slug of .176. Batters have only been able to get a single multi-base hit on the pitch type, andIt's not his most-used pitch, but Burnes has used the changeup to his advantage as a deceptive sequencing weapon in his arsenal.Josh Wilson is the News Director of the Breaking & Trending News Team at Sports Illustrated.
