Hudson is working on a quicker delivery tempo, the Diamondbacks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

After giving up a run on two hits and hitting a batter in a spring game on March 8, Hudson worked with pitching coach Mike Butcher to speed up his leg kick. His next time out, Hudson worked a 1-2-3 inning and struck out two. He said the adjusted mechanics "clicked and worked well." Hudson should be a key contributor to Arizona's bullpen this season, although Brad Ziegler and Tyler Clippard appear to be ahead of him in the pecking order for saves.
