Dustin May's Cutter-Driven Breakout Revitalizes Cardinals Pitching

After a rough start to 2026, Dustin May revived his season by leaning into a cutter as his primary fastball, reducing four-seam usage and sharpening location. In 11 starts since the shift, he has a 2.63 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and higher strikeout rate, aided by reviving his curveball as a complementary weapon, with coaching discussions emphasizing optimal usage and pitch sequencing to unlock his performance with the Cardinals.
