Moore's Success Tied To Throwing More Changeups 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Jul 23, 2013 12:36 pm

Matt Moore threw the first complete-game shutout of his Major League career against the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Monday night.


Moore was a strike machine, throwing 74 of 109 pitches for strikes -- including 21 changeups.


The increased use of his changeup has allowed Moore to dominate hitters lately.


"Early in the season, Moore did not utilize his changeup that frequently. Through his first 10 starts of 2013, Moore threw as many as 20 changeups just one time and totaled 156 changeups through the first two months of the season," writes Jason Collette.


"Since the beginning of June, despite one less outing, Moore has already thrown 205 changeups and has thrown at least 20 in all but two of those outings."
