Good analysis over at Aaron Gleeman’s site on the average fastball velocity of the Twin’s starters. With the 12th highest average fastball in the AL Jesse Crain looks to be fully back and may not make the club miss Pat Neshek as much. As I wrote a couple days ago I was also impressed with the velocity Glen Perkins showed on Saturday. The lovable Livan is topping out at 84 MPH.
One thing that caught my eye, and I can’t be alone, was Juan Rincon. Rincon’s fastball has consistently lost velocity since 2005. We all know what happened to Juan in 2005. Since then his average fastball has dropped from 94 MPH to 91.5 MPH.
I’m not saying, I’m just saying…
