Astros | Lucas Harrell working on curve

Houston Astros SP Lucas Harrell has been trying to perfect his curveball this spring. He thinks improving the pitch will help him reduce his pitch counts and work deeper into games. "It's usually my fourth-best pitch," he said. "But I want to make it one of my strengths. I threw a lot down in the bullpen and today I wanted to throw it in situations I wouldn't get hurt. I threw it a couple of times today for a first-pitch strike."
