Justin Wrobleski is competing for a Dodgers rotation spot by increasing his cutter usage and developing confidence in his changeup during spring training.
"I'm not going to reveal the pitch," Ryan told Dodgers Nation's Doug McKain. "I want to kind of surprise people next year. The way I figured out how to throw it, I was just kind of in the middle of an outing and uh, I was looking at some film and some Trackman on what my pitch shapes were and I was... I was kind of surprised on one of them and I was like, I didn't know I could make the ball do that. "So unfortunately after I kind of figured it out, I got hurt and then I had to stop throwing. So I had to pick it back up when I was able to start spinning the ball again in rehab. Um, and I kind of just figured out what I did to make the ball do that and um, yeah, we just kind of honed it in from there. It's still... it's still in the works. I mean, it's... I don't think it's going to be a highly used pitch, but it's definitely another strikeout option if needed. So."
