Indians | Ubaldo Jimenez moving away from four-seamer

Tue, 27 Mar 2012 16:38:00 +0000

According to KFFL, Cleveland Indians SP Ubaldo Jimenez lost some velocity last season by turning to a four-seam fastball, something he hopes to move away from in 2012. "My fastball is something I got away from last year," said Jimenez, who was acquired in a trade with the Rockies last July. "The thing is, in 2009 and early in 2010, I never used to throw a four-seamer that much. Last year, I threw it because I didn't have my velocity." Jimenez has been consistently around 90-95 mph this spring, and he has faith that his velocity will be fine in the regular season. In 2010, his average sinker velocity sat at 97 mph.
