Angels relief pitcher Carlos Estévez celebrates after their 3-2, 10-inning victory over the Dodgers on Friday night at Dodger Stadium. ANAHEIM — As Carlos Estévez endured a rough start to his season, he knew something was wrong, but he couldn’t figure out what.
Karsay suggested that Estévez was releasing the ball with his wrist at the wrong angle, which made it difficult to get his pitches where he wanted them. Since then, Estévez has a 1.76 ERA over his last 15 games, including an ongoing streak of eight consecutive perfect outings. “He’s been attacking the zone,” manager Ron Washington said of Estévez. “He’s been using his pitches in different areas of the zone, so you can’t zero in on one part. In other words, he’s been changing a lot of eye levels.”
The improvements have obviously helped the Angels, as Estévez has seven saves and a victory in his last eight games. Perhaps more important for the long-term health of the franchise, though, is that Estévez has turned himself into an attractive trade chip.
