Rockies pitcher Adam Ottavino is known as the fireballer out of Colorado's bullpen. But the reliever wants to be more just just another flamethrower, reports MLB.com.
"That's my whole method of pitching, being tricky, mixing it up and improvising out there," Ottavino said. "That's fun for me. The game is that inner strategy, against the hitter, giving him what he doesn't want."
Manager Walt Weiss likes the versatility Ottavino gives him in matchups.
"He gives you an opportunity to match up; he's so deadly against right-handed hitters," Weiss said. "He's been better against lefties, too. He's made some adjustments. But the fact you can pick and choose whne you use him, it's a luxury."
