Angels | Ernesto Frieri happy with new pitches

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim RP Ernesto Frieri is happy with the development of his cut fastball this spring and his changeup. His cutter is coming out of his hand like his fastball with late-breaking movement. He gave up a hit in a scoreless inning Thursday, March 7, and three of his five cutters were thrown for strikes. "Last year, it was getting hard for me because they knew the fastball was coming, and I'd throw the fastball. Now, they're going to think the fastball is coming and I'll throw the cutter. ... Got 'em," Frieri said. He is confident about taking these two new pitches into the regular season.
