Sean Manaea's New Cutter Pitch Slows Fastball

Sean Manaea, New York Mets starter, had a mixed spring training debut. He pitched three solid innings, allowing just one hit, one walk, one strikeout, and a solo home run. However, his fastball averaged 88.1 mph, significantly slower than last seasons 91.7 mph. This drop is attributed to his new cutter pitch, which hes still adjusting to. Despite the slower velocity, Manaea felt healthy and maintained good command. The Mets coaching staff is focusing on command and pitch shape rather than raw speed.
