Logan Gilbert Experiments With Cutter During Spring Training

Logan Gilbert is testing the viability of his cutter this spring, a pitch he previously limited due to catcher Cal Raleigh's preference. In a recent outing, Gilbert used the cutter to navigate counts against left-handed hitters, finding success after mechanical adjustments to his delivery helped him stay closed and firm on his front side. While not committing to a full-time role for the pitch, Gilbert noted its value as a third option to help him escape difficult counts.
