Also, there’s this

quote:

Per Statcast, Smith-Shawver has already thrown 15 pitches that have registered at 98 mph or higher this year with Triple-A Gwinnett. His three highest-recorded velocities of the year -- 99.8 mph, 99.7, 99.2 -- were all produced on Wednesday in Norfolk, when he allowed three runs and got seven strikeouts over five innings.

Smith-Shawver threw 507 fastballs over the seven appearances (28 innings) he combined to make between the regular season and playoffs for Atlanta last year. Just seven of those pitches registered 98 mph or more. Four of those seven pitches were thrown during his last regular-season start against the Cubs on Sept. 28. The other was thrown during Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Phillies.

Is it sad that my first thought when I read this was to go ahead and get his future Tommy John scheduled?
