Swarzak looks to be positive addition to bullpen
Posted March 27, 2017 1:00 am
GLENDALE, Ariz. - Right-hander Anthony Swarzak touched 97 mph in a game last week, which for him, at age 31, was uncharted territory.
Swarzak is used to carrying a 93-94 four-seamer in his arsenal, he featured with the Twins for five seasons, the Indians in 2015 and Yankees in 2016. This spring, he's had a little more life on his pitches, which he attributes to better timing in his delivery as well as the Sox conditioning and training staff.
"The strength and conditioning program here has really helped me because it's power based," Swarzak said. "I've never been a big workout guy but I'm really getting stronger here in camp, and my stuff is showing because of it."
