so what's his changeup, like 93?


He doesn't use it much when closing but did when he was starting. Its actually in the low 80's. I'v seen it go down to 79. Usually pitches around 97-99 when starting. So basically his change up is impossible to hit.

guns are much faster these days
advances in technology have radar guns clocking higher speeds since being introduced in the 70s


i heard just the exact opposite of this statement.

dan patrick show was talking about the radar guns of today are actually behind in accuracy.. that a guy clocked throwing 95 may be really throwing more like 97. al leiter was on the show with him discussing the old radar guns and today's change in technology.

so i'm gonna believe it's a legit 106 and some

i guess it's just impossible for anyone to ever throw 106 mph one time..
