Tyler Chatwood - Cubs
The Cubs pitcher threw three shutout innings on Friday. He also struck out three. Most noteworthy was the fact that he didn't walk a single batter.

Robbie Ray - Diamondbacks
While Arizona lost, Robbie Ray had himself a good game. He pitched 2.2 innings, allowed just one run and struck out three.
It appears @RobbieRay seems to have perfected a pitch during the offseason that can strike you out in a 1-1 count. Let's keep an eye on this development... #DbacksSpring pic.twitter.com/TiaF8ia7xZ

Jose Quintana - Cubs
While Chatwood is important for the Cubs, Jose Quintana is arguably even more important. He threw two innings, allowed just one hit and didn't allow a run.
Jose Quintana said he's been working on a changeup. I love hearing that. His changeup movement decreased as 2018 progressed, and -- at least for Q -- more movement predicted more whiffs. https://t.co/v32GMH8HEW

Carl Edwards Jr - Cubs
The Cubs reliever is trying out a new pitching motion that is supposed to mean less wear and tear. On Friday he used it to pitch a scoreless inning.
