He showcased his pitching arsenal and had a few minor self-critiques. Overall, he felt his fastball command was there and that his changeup could\u2019ve been a little sharper. Yet, the gravity of his performance was noticeable. He didn\u2019t miss a beat, and that bodes well for the Royals as they enter Cactus League play on Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">\u201cGetting back out there is step No. 1,\u201d Bubic said. \u201cJust hearing the feedback, too, right away has been great. You know, just seeing a hitter in the box is great as well. It\u2019s great to always have the support of my teammates. They saw me quite a bit last year and was with me too when I was doing the rehab towards the end of the year. But I\u2019m excited and I know they are excited. Obviously, we just want to keep it going.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bubic faced several hitters during the live batting practice.
