With Wade Davis gone from the Royals, Lee Judge recalls what he learned from the pitcher. The short version is, do the unexpected. For example:

At times Wade would throw a first-pitch heater right at the hitter’s hot zone. When I asked how he got away with that, Wade said: “Because they don’t think you will.” The hitter assumed Davis was going to stay on the edges and he didn’t; he’d come right at them. That’s when you see a hitter look mad after taking a pitch; he got what he wanted, but didn’t really believe he’d get it.

Beginning to see the mind games being played?

The Cubs are going to like him in the bullpen.
