Red Sox’s Drew Pomeranz Finding Success With More Assertive Approach

Share this: Drew Pomeranz has been a pleasant surprise for the Boston Red Sox this season. Entering Friday, the left-hander has an 8-4 record as well as a respectable 3.64 ERA.

Not only that, but the addition of a cutter to his repertoire has made his fastball and nasty curveball even more effective.
