As a starter next year I doubt he will sit 97. He probably sit 92-95
So you're saying as a starter he'll hold back some on his fastballs?

Holding back is a bad way to describe it. He just isn't going 110% every pitch as a starter. If he did that, then either 1) he won't last long or 2) he will get hurt if he's not conditioned well enough. Example: We all know that Justin Verlander can throw upper 90s anytime he wants, but he sits comfortably around 92-95. It isn't "holding back." It's just pacing yourself.

Pretty much. Starters can't give max effort on every pitch and expect to go 7-8 innings. In critical spots they'll go max effort.
