is that if you throw a 95 mph fastball, you want the slider to be at 90, the curve to be at 85, and the change to be in that vicinity as well, depending on the type of curve.
If you watch, most MLB hitters miss a changeup by an eyelash. a 20 mph differential just seems to be a HUGE difference, that MLB hitters will adjust to by keeping the hands back.
I could see him eating minor league hitters up with it, but those are minor leagues, only a small % of them will see the show, with an even smaller % of those being all-star caliber.
