"When I call a game now and I try to think along with him, he surprises me," Flaherty said. "He'll pitch backwards a little bit more. I think he knows the league knows about his split-finger and he kind of keeps it in his holster a little bit more than he did when he first came over. I remember at the end of last year I couldn't even think along with this guy because he was throwing his fastball in off-speed counts and off-speed pitches in fastball counts. He's just a very well-rounded all-around pitcher now."
