Minnesota Twins RP Matt Capps, who is 7-for-7 in save chances this year, said his usage of a split-fingered fastball has been a big reason for his success early this year. Capps has thrown five scoreless innings and has allowed two hits and no walks in his last five outings. "It's been a big part of things," Capps said of the split finger. "I think if anything it gets guys off the fastball. Even if the split finger is not the pitch that gets the out, it kind of gets them off the heater and opens up other opportunities with the fastball and things like that. I think that's probably more important than throwing the split for strikes."

Minnesota Twins RP Matt Capps is working on a split-fingered fastball, but he said Friday, March 30, that the pitch still requires some work. "I'm not good enough with it yet to start it in a specific place (to hitters). But I think it'll be good," Capps said.

Minnesota Twins RP Matt Capps plans to fully stretch himself out this spring. He said he was never allowed to fully stretch himself out with throwing last spring, which led to his rough season. "I'm certainly going to talk to them about getting back to preparing the old way, kind of like a sprinter might go out and run five miles every now and then," Capps said. "I might want to throw three innings just to kind of build the arm up a little bit."

Minnesota Twins pitching coach Rick Anderson said the team asked a lot of RP Matt Capps (forearm) last season, even when he was dealing with an injured forearm. "Here's Cappy taking the ball and going out there every day and not saying a word," Anderson said. "I don't think we ever asked Eddie (Guardado) or Nathan to pitch more than one inning, except once or twice. We asked Cappy to do it about every night." Capps is back to 100 percent health.
