Spencer Arrighetti is developing a two-seam fastball this spring to counter right-handed hitters, after his four-seam fastball struggled last season, per team updates. He used it sparingly—three times—in his last outing against the Cardinals. (Brian McTaggart)

Fantasy Impact:

Arrighetti’s four-seam fastball allowed a .302 average and .516 slugging in 2024, prompting this tweak. The two-seamer aims to reduce hard contact, complementing his solid offspeed pitches. Fantasy managers should watch his spring progress, as this could boost his value as a starter.
