Kenley Jansen's Elusive Cutter Remains a Unicorn Pitch

Detroit Tigers veteran closer Kenley Jansen continues to baffle hitters with his elusive cut fastball, a pitch he throws over 80% of the time. Averaging 92.8 mph with elite spin, his cutter exhibits 18.8 inches of induced vertical break and 2.4 inches of gloveside movement. Jansen, who posted a 2.59 ERA last season with opponents hitting just .159 against the pitch, brings his unique repertoire and 476 career saves to the Tigers bullpen.
