So maybe things will change.

But Michael Ferret right now throws six different pitches.

It's a fastball or it's a four-seamer.

It's a sinker.

It's a sweeper, a death ball, which is like a slider, curveball mix type thing.

a changeup, and a kick change.

He can't really throw a traditional curveball because of his arm slot, but the death ball, he's found something really that works for him there.

Compare that to the sweeper that's breaking really well the other way.

He's got that kick changeup that works for guys who –

Can't really throw a traditional change up as well.

So he's got an option there.
