I’m just saying that Yankee fans were griping that their coach changed the percentages on pitch selection. Pitching coaches can preach throwing more fastballs or more offspeed stuff. Since the guy you spoke with said that pitchers will do that, it sounds like he’s not talking about Gray specially doing it because he is hurt.
It wasn't pitch percentage that is an indicator of arm problems, it's the adding of a splitter, which results in less fastball/change-up usage.
