Pitching
Everyone knows what is coming when Rivera readies himself to deliver: a mid-90s cutter that darts like a slider. One of the greatest pitches in baseball history, Rivera's cutter has stymied hitters for close to a decade, despite not producing an abundance of strikeouts. Instead, he runs it away from righthanded hitters and in on the hands of lefthanded hitters, generating broken bats and groundballs. When Rivera does throw something straight, it is usually a riding four-seamer that is intended to move the hitter's eye level upward. |
