Berrios showed flashes of brilliance last year but was also shelled on a few occasions
Coming off a season where inconsistency was the norm, Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios has been working on a number of mechanical changes in recent weeks to get back on track.
“I think we’re in a great spot with where his stuff plays,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Saturday. “I’ve said it forever: his track record speaks for itself. We’re comfortable and he’s comfortable with where he is with everything.The 28-year-old right-hander has been making daily adjustments at spring training to improve his movement. He’s working from the centre of the rubber now, pushing more with his back leg and staying firmer on the glove side while extending his stride.
“We started early this year,” he said with a smile. “We always do something to create that good chemistry.” Berrios is one of four locks in Toronto’s starting rotation with ace Alek Manoah, Kevin Gausman and newcomer Chris Bassitt. He delivered a 13-strikeout performance against his former team in early June and followed that with an eight-inning gem against the Detroit Tigers. But he gave up at least six earned runs over two of his next three starts.Berrios said he never gave up during the rough spells and learned a lot from the experience.
