Mets hoping pitch mix-change will help get Frankie Montas on track
Frankie Montas’ four-seamer is averaging the same velocity (95.6 mph) as last year and is just a tick down from his heat in 2021 (96.4 mph), when he received Cy Young votes. Opposing batters are whiffing on 35 percent of their swings against his splitter. Metrically, his sinker and slider are not far from where they have been in past seasons.
