A Short Season: Luis Heredia 2012 debut

Pirates general manager Neil Huntingdon on Heredia (via Pittsburgh Tribune-Review):

“Fastball command is what we’re trying to get him to focus on,” Huntington said. “That’s what’s going to allow him to be successful. We’re not taking pitches away, but we want to emphasize fastball command, consistency of the breaking ball and use of the changeup. He’s going to be allowed to use his other pitches. But our emphasis is going to be on the basic foundation pitches.”
