Dick Allen Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 If you are freaking out about Giolito's velocity during a spring game on March 13th, good luck making it through the next 2 or 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 QUOTE (GermanSock @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 04:07 PM) I think the velocity will come back. What I'm concerned about more is the reports on the low spin rate (little movement) on the fastball. Even when he was hitting 94 his swinging strike rates were not great. Not sure what do make out of this. Maybe he should add another pitch that is less dependent on spin (sinker), I don't know. If his command was better the straight fastball would be less of an issue (I think kershaws 4 seamer is also pretty straight) but if your heater is straight and not located well it is going to get hammered even at 94 (maybe he would get away with it at 100). As a rule, 4 seamers are always straight(er), no matter who throws it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
