Aroldis Chapman changed the grip on his cutter. It was moving too much, and the new grip allows him to throw it for strikes:
Chapman, 29, is thrilled with the change, telling The Post through interpreter Marlon Abreu, “I’m getting better command on the pitch, it’s a little more straight.’’
Straight, in this case, is good because he is having great success elevating the pitch to change the eye level of the hitters and at that height and location, you just can’t catch up to 100-plus mph.
This comes just in time for the playoffs.
