Diamondbacks pitcher Chase Anderson is paying more attention to the mechanics of his two-seam fastball, according to MLB.com.
Anderson has used the pitch plenty in the past but is hoping to make more effective use out of it this season.
"Sometimes I'm not finishing the way I want to finish and it's not getting that depth, but it's missing some bats and getting ground balls and that's the main goal," Anderson said. "I've been known as a fly-ball pitcher and I want to be known as a ground-ball pitcher because ground balls don't usually go over the fence. I want to throw more ground balls than fly balls, that's the main goal."
Anderson pitched Monday in Arizona's 3-3 Cactus League tie against the White Sox. He gave up two hits in 2 2/3 scoreless innings.
