Matt Garza makes his fourth start for the Cubs in about 90 minutes. To date, he's shown an increased use of his change-up and slider to right-handed batters. His pitch selection against lefties has been incredibly balanced.
Despite what Fangraphs reported, Garza is not throwing more two-seam fastballs. Less, actually. Across the line, Garza has shifted his pitch mix from 2010, which was representative of his 2007-2010 average:
2010 2011 Change-up 5.4% 11.1% Curveball 9.0% 12.1% 4-seam FB 46.1% 38.2% 2-seam FB 25.6% 16.1% Slider 13.9% 22.5%
