Kevin Gregg started throwing a cutter on August 15. Since that appearance, he hadn't thrown a single splitter. Until the final game against the Nationals on August 27. Here's a ginormous picture containing four graphs. Spin movement along with three views of the pitch flights.
Pitches, not just the cutter - you'll get his sliders and fastballs and that one splitter. Plus one sinker. Take the split/sink flights with a grain of salt - that's just one pitch while the other three are aggregated. The spin movement is accurate and not misleading.

Graphing Gregg's Cutter

So the cutter is an improvement because it's moving away from right-handed hitters and in on left-handed hitters, right? The splitter looks like it's falling right over the plate.
I wouldn't make any assessments of the pitch quality at this point. The splitter you're looking at is actually one that was low and in the dirt, and just one pitch.
Basically, all we can say at this point is he's throwing cutters and the splitter may be shelved or back-burnered. Time will tell.
Gotcha. He's had relative success in a set-up role so far, though that long fly ball that Soriano bungled yesterday brought back bad memories.
BTW, he only threw a splitter (one) and no cutters yesterday.
