Cleveland Guardians' Strategy: High Extension Pitchers
Update: 2025-12-06
Description
The Cleveland Guardians have signed right-handed reliever Connor Brogdon, known for his exceptional pitching extension and high velocity. This move aligns with the teams strategy of acquiring pitchers with deceptive physical attributes, rather than just pitch movement. Brogdons profile, with his height and fastball, fits this mold perfectly, offering a changeup and a developing cutter or slider. Despite some risk due to injury and higher earned run average, the Guardians see the underlying metrics and physical tools that align with their model. This strategic approach has consistently contributed to a strong and reliable bullpen for the team.
