Tanner McDougal & David Sandlin are closing In on the big leagues

Road to the Rate rolls on as David Sandlin and Tanner McDougal stop by to talk about their push toward the big leagues. Sandlin reflects on the adjustment from being dealt by the Boston Red Sox to the Chicago White Sox, dives into his work with Pitching WRX alongside Davis Martin, and breaks down the evolution of his arsenal, from the kick-change to his slider and cutter, and how he manages velocity.

McDougal shares where he sees himself fitting into the clubhouse, the veterans he’s leaned on in camp, and the adjustments he’s made as he inches closer to Chicago. He also opens up about understanding exactly what the organization wants from him, the biggest strides in his development, and the teammates who’ve caught his eye this spring as both pitchers continue their climb toward the majors.
