A 91 mph fastball with elite spin can still be incredibly effective. C'mon Fathom you know better than that. It isn't likely for a pitcher to even reach the majors throwing in the low 90s without elite spin. Edited August 4, 2019 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem isthat there aren’t any real alternatives on the market unless you convince Castellanos with some extra money to buy himself a 1B mitt.

Now you can continue discussing how Abreu is over the hill now. Velocity without spin rate data is useless at this point.

GermanSoxFan Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Watching McCann hit now is such a stark difference to two months ago. His swing is all arms, he is gassed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 At one point in his career, Jon Jay was considered to be fast, right? I know he is over 30 and stuff but damn he looks so damn slow now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
