Daily News | Phillies ace Zack Wheeler making good use of his new ‘sweeper’ pitch
And it figures to be a part of his game plan Monday night against the White Sox in the series opener in Chicago.
Wheeler wouldn’t be the first upper-echelon pitcher who varied his repertoire midway through his career. When Phillies manager Rob Thomson was a coach with the Yankees, he watched CC Sabathia morph from a power pitcher into a sinker-cutter artist and remain effective. Wheeler’s sweeper has improved with each start. He threw 14 of them and gave up two hits — both to left-handed hitters — on April 1 in Texas. Since then, he has thrown it exclusively to righties. He got three swings and misses with it against the Marlins.
