In 4 spring starts, Alex Cobb has 18 strikeouts to just 2 walks — all while working in 2 new pitches to his arsenal.
PEORIA, Ariz. — Alex Cobb began 2022 in the fifth and final spot in the Giants’ rotation, an indication of tough road that preceded his signing in San Francisco. This year, he earned a promotion: Cobb, 35, will slot in behind Logan Webb as the Giants’ No. 2 starter, a statement of how far he’s come.
This spring, Cobb has been just as effective, still sitting in the mid-90s with his fastball. But he’s incorporated two new pitches, at least one of which he plans to debut at Yankee Stadium in the Giants’ second game of the season. “I have a feeling that when I’m not sharp, as weird as that is, with my delivery, my cutter is better,” Cobb said. “When I’m doing the proper things to make the split and the two-seam do what they do, the cutter might not be there. As I continue bullpens and in these types of games and settings, I’ll keep playing with it. But I definitely think there’s room for the slider to have a good percentage of pitches throughout the game.
