Phil Hughes will again be focusing on his changeup at spring training.
The Yankees right-hander, who went 18-8 last season, worked extensively on the pitch at spring training one year ago.
A fast regular-season start saw Hughes often bypassing it after the All-Star break, which likely contributed to a second-half record of 7-6.
"I think, maybe, that hurt me looking back on it because I really didn't keep up with it as much as I would have liked," Hughes said. "Maybe when fatigue set in, and I really needed that changeup to get me through those games, it just wasn't there."
