He was still hitting around 92 most of the game want he? Until maybe the last inning.



It started out at 92-91, touched 93 a couple of times, then it gradually regressed to 91-90 and by his last inning he was mostly at 89.

It's alarming because before tonight, he never dropped below 92 in previous home starts (not sure what his velo was for Bama & UGA). Before, he was mostly 95-93 and wouldn't drop in the later innings. Again, if this was an anomaly of a game fine, but this tweet had me thinking about this before the game:

I don't know, I just don't think all of these events (missed start, velocity, etc.) are coincidental incidents.

Did you really expect a freshman to continue to hit 94-95 mph this late into a season? A slight drop was inevitable considering he's probably never thrown this many innings. I think they've been trying to rely too much in his fastball recently. A&M was just sitting on in the first inning tonight.
