Deconstructing Brian Bannister
Harry gives it a go:
Bannister described the power change as an extreme ground ball pitch, his cutter as a mediocre ground ball pitch, and his fastball as an extreme fly ball pitch. Check, check and check.

I see “CU”, and I have to take a double-take to figure if that means cutter, curve, or change-up. A suggestion: Ideally, we don’t use CU at all for any pitch. Cutter could be CT or FC. Change-up would be CH. And curveball could be CR, CV, or CB (whatever sticks best). Just not CU.
