Every pitch has an origin story and for Kyle Hendricks, his changeup came along after rough outing in high school and a long workout with his father. It has now developed into the pitch that allows Hendricks to go under the radar and become a very solid piece of the Cubs rotation. After they clinched their spot in the NLCS, Rian Watt spoke to Hendricks and Hendricks' father about how that pitch came about. Over at BP Wrigleyville, Watt shares that story.
