Ben would settle in at 93-95 but would routinely get it up there around 97-98 throughout his outings.

I would say he averaged 95.

I am curious to know if the radar guns today would have clocked him higher

He didn't get up there until he was with Baltimore.

Who was it that used to crow-hop on his last warm up pitch and fire it to the catcher?
