• Oliver Drake, the Angels’ newest relief pitcher, has thrown batters for a curve

  At least Mike Scioscia had a good excuse. Few pitchers decide to add a new pitch to their repertoire at age 31. Drake is the rare exception. He learned a curveball in Milwaukee, took it with him to Cleveland, and was still spinning the
