Ted Lilly used his cutter/slutter/slider, fastball and curveball in Team USA's game against Venezuela. I wrote a lot over the past year about Lilly's disappearing curveball, but not seeing any change-ups was a little surprising.
Lilly's change is hammered into my consciousness for two reasons
- It can be tough to pick it out if you're not careful with his early innings - Lilly adds velocity as games go on
- It is well known for being used aggressively
For some reason, I feel like Lilly may not use the change-up much in Spring Training, but I can't find/recall anything specific on it. Anyway, here's a psuedo-3D of the curves Ted threw against the victorious Venezuelans.
