Magic Wandy?

What did Wandy Rodriguez discover. He pitched his first complete game and first shutout tonight, defeating the Mets 4-0. It was a brilliant game as he struck out eight and walked one. The Mets could manage just four hits. This follows seven shutout innings against the Rockies. His line for the month is 16 innings, 0 runs, seven hits, three walks and twelve strikeouts. I wondered if it was a new pitch, but this article claims it's a matter of confidence.

IMO, the biggest difference for Wandy is his command. Wandy has always had good stuff, but would have some control issues or make location mistakes on his fastball. His command is much better this season. Wandy also is doing a better job of maintaining his composure when things don't go well. Like many young pitchers, he had a tendency to self-destruct over bad calls, errors, etc. He is more composed now.
