Luke Weaver has emerged as a key pitcher for the Yankees, maintaining an impressive performance by allowing no earned runs over the season. Despite a reduction in the velocity of his fastball to 93.2 mph, which influences his pitching approach, Weaver believes in his ability to adapt. He focuses on precision and deception to maintain his effectiveness, showcasing a changeup and cutter that continue to frustrate hitters. Weaver's confidence remains high, suggesting thereâs more potential yet to be unlocked this season as he adjusts to his evolving pitching style.
"I got to be mindful that this ain't coming out the same," Weaver said before the Yankees swept a series with the Royals in The Bronx. "So I can't pitch the same. I have to come with the same conviction and confidence that I got to get to the spot."
"I'm proud of what I've been doing thus far because I feel like I haven't clicked into my top-shelf self," said Weaver, who did not pitch in the Yankees' win on Wednesday. "But I feel really convicted and confident."
