sweeper

His secondary stuff was electric, a mix of sliders and sweepers and curveballs and splitters that kept the Phillies off balance and able to make only benign contact.

Local media has reported that a blanket was left at the scene with a message issuing a warning to rival gangs and apparently signed by a group called "La Barredora", meaning the sweeper.

Since then, the franchise has churned out top pitching prospect after top pitching prospect, many of whom throw devastating sweepers and change-ups.

He has quickly rediscovered the feel for his breaking stuff, generating whiffs with his sweeper and traditional slider.

In the next at-bat, Davis threw a hanging sweeper that Victor Caratini belted for a grand slam.
