New York Yankees reliever Tommy Kahnle has thrown 56 straight changeups this postseason.
\"Too many,\" Kahnle said with a laugh. \"Mix in a fastball, I guess?\"
For three consecutive outings, Kahnle has thrown only changeups.
His last non-changeup pitch came during Game 2 of the ALCS on Oct. 15, an eighth-inning fastball on which Brayan Rocchio of the Cleveland Guardians hit a line-drive single.
Kahnle used the changeup 73.1% of the time this season, most in all of baseball.
\"I\'m going to use it,\" Kahnle said. \"It\'s my pitch. It\'s just basically [about] executing it and not leaving it in bad places to get hit hard.\"
