Yeah, that won't help. His velocity seems to still be up where it should be so let's see what happens going forward. -- nm - Krusty Jul 4, 14:05 4
- Problem is velocity without spin just goes farther. These hitters can dial in 100. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 4, 14:21 3
  - If you follow baseball metrics, there are some fascinating early results. Like 80 pitchers are more than two standard deviations down on spin rate. -- nm - David Jul 4, 14:22 2
    - It's a massive change. We know they can hit 100mph when it moves as 'normal'. So, if that's back to normal, we could see some actual good hitting - Will Hunting Jul 4, 14:34 1
      - Schwarber's hot streak wasn't coincidental. He's someone who was hugely impacted by the cheating. -- nm - David Jul 4, 15:31
