Wagner Progressing With New Pitch

John Delcos writes in his blog that Billy Wagner is happy with the way he is proggressing with his new pitch, the split-finger change-up.

Wagner threw it for the first time in a real game today against Marcus Thames and said it went well: "It's a start." he said.

Earlier this spring he said that he needed a pitch that would "require less energy to throw and that may get me some easier outs."
