"If I'm the Cubs I'm looking at how Nick Pivetta attacked the lineup and inferring potential similarities to Dylan Cease. "What may we see that we aren't expecting from Cease" That's the question. Pivetta threw nearly 20% sinkers todaythe most used pitch other than his 4seam ()compared to his season rate of 4%. In fact this was the MOST FREQUENT he used his sinker in any start all year It was his third time facing the Cubs this year and he clearly wanted a different approach. He struck out Dansby Swanson with a sinker and induced another batted ball out. He threw the majority of his sinkers"
