Motivated Red Sox pitcher has reached 97 mph with sinker in 3 scoreless innings out of pen

Red Sox righty Josh Winckowski said he feels he “missed an opportunity” last year as a rookie. “Heading into every year there's always a ton of motivation,” Winckowski said. Winckowski cruised during spring training (16 innings, 2 earned runs) and he has continued it early in the regular season. “You can always preemptively work on stuff and try to prepare yourself for what you think the game out there is going to be like and where the opposing teams will take advantage of what you don't do and whatever it is,” Winckowski said during the final week of spring training.
