Dissecting Mariano Rivera's Cutter
Graham gives Mo the Pitch f/x treatment over at Beyond the Box Score. Some highlights:
- The cutter isn't the same every time, there's a lot of spin and speed variation.
- Mo can make the cutter both cut and tail and puts various levels of rise on it.
- Lefties never see the fastball. Ever.

good article
how much of the variation (in terms of cut) is Mo consciously doing?
the amazing thing is that even when Mo loses his velocity, he still has a great changeup in his pocket. i could see his change coming into play more as he ages.
