Purposefully backing off velocityLorenzen gave up three earned runs on three hits over 1.1 innings Friday against Arizona, throwing his fastball around 93 mph, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ImpactLorenzen was throwing around 97 mph last season, but is purposefully backing off a little on his fastball and throwing more breaking pitches in order to build up as a starter this season. He's battling with Tejay Antone and Jose De Leon to be the Reds' fifth starter.

Regaining velocityOsich was throwing his fastball between 93-95 mph in his first spring training outing, after averaging only 92 mph last season, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports...
ImpactOsich is in the Reds spring training camp on a non-roster invite. That he's left-handed works in his favor - only Amir Garrett and Sean Doolittle are lefties in their pen, barring the possibility of Wade Miley not starting.

Fires three inningsClarke allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out four over three innings in Friday's spring game against Cincinnati.
ImpactClarke has made two spring appearances as a reliever but is being stretched out as a potential starter. He worked two innings in his debut and was Arizona's first pitcher to throw three innings in a game. His flexibility could result in being used as a starter and a mutli-inning reliever.

Swats two homersRojas started at shortstop and went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's spring game against the Reds.
ImpactRojas has muscled up with three home runs in the last two games. The utility infielder is 5-for-15 with three homers and six RBI over five games, while playing at second base and shortstop. He also has experience in the outfield and has been mentioned as a possible fill-in for injured right fielder Kole Calhoun (knee), but he's not yet played there this spring.

Collects three hitsSmith started in right field and went 3-for-3 with a double and two runs scored in Friday's spring game against the Reds.
ImpactSmith was the latest candidate to start in right field, the usual domain of the injured Kole Calhoun (knee), who may miss the first two weeks of the regular season. Smith recently added outfield to his portfolio, and he showed off with a nice running catch on a shallow fly. The 25-year-old first baseman/corner outfielder is 4-for-10 with two doubles and three runs scored in five spring appearances.
