How Adbert Alzolay's Evolving as Cubs' Transition Accelerates

PHOENIX – If a left-handed Diamondbacks hitter grounded out to the right side of the infield on Saturday, chances were Adbert Alzolay's cutter was responsible. "It's coming along pretty good," the Cubs rookie right-hander said of the pitch. "It was just a matter of time and knowing the pitch better and picking my spots to throw it, my locations for the pitch. And I feel that it works really well with my sinker and my slider, too. It's been a lot of hard work to get that pitch going, but I feel super comfortable with it now."
