  • First inning: 96.9 mph

  • Second: 95.4 mph

  • Third: 94.7 mph

  • Fourth: 95.3 mph

  • Fifth: 94.9 mph

  • Sixth: 94.8 mph

Unsurprisingly, Strider is a significantly more effective pitcher when his fastball is humming 96-98 than when it’s 93-95. The faster the pitch, the harder it is to hit — that’s not rocket science. But it’s particularly more poignant for a hurler such as Strider who leans so heavily on his fastball.
