Yankees Tommy Kahnle has made 56 consecutive turnovers

New York Yankees reliever Tommy Kahnle has thrown 56 consecutive changes this postseason.

“Too much,” Kahnle said, laughing. “An extra fastball, I guess?”

Through three consecutive appearances, Kahnle has organized nothing but substitutions.

His last non-changeup pitch came during Game 2 of the ALCS on October 15, an eighth-inning fastball on which Brayan Rocchio of the Cleveland Guardians hit a line-drive single.

Kahnle used the changeup 73.1% of the time this season, the most in baseball.

“I’m going to use it,” Kahnle said. “It’s my pitch. It’s really about executing it and not leaving it in bad places where it can get hit hard.”
