Gausman spoke on his goal for the 2025 season as well, stating that he is looking at adding a cutter to his pitch mix since his slider has acted as a cutter but he believes adding to his arsenal can be extremely helpful.
Kevin Gausman is looking into adding a cutter.
His slider has acted in a similar way to a cutter as a "non-whiff, strike pitch", though a harder cutter that doesn't break like the splitter could be incredibly helpful.
Can't wait for spring!
The 34 year old is coming off a down year in 2024 due to dealing with on going injuries but everyone has faith that he will have a bounce back year in 2025.
