Against righties, his second pitch is the changeup, which averaged 83 mph in according to Brooks Baseball. The movement on the pitch looks okay, but he doesn't get a ton of swing and misses with it he does get GBs , perhaps due to the lack of velocity separation from his fastball.

Against lefties, though, Saunders changes entirely. And while he uses his curve against both lefties and righties, it's much more difficult for the lefties to handle, both creating more whiffs and more groundballs than it did against the opposite-handed batters.
