A Look at Marlins Pitchers’ Velocity Metrics
Zach Thompson
His Fastball is below average in terms of velocity and he throws it on average 92.8 miles per hour. The lack of a meaningful change in velocities is a problem if Zach Thompson wants to continue using a Changeup in his arsenal. The difference between his Fastball and Changeup is 7.5. His Four Seam Fastball has an above average velocity difference from his Curveball, which is helpful in the art of pitching. He does not feature a slider or he does not throw it enough to qualify.
Anthony Bender
He throws an above-average Fastball in velocity and he throws it on average 96.8 miles per hour. The difference between his average Four Seam Fastball and Changeup in terms of velocity is 8.3. This is rather average for a MLB pitcher. We are not able to compare his Four Seam Fastball to his Curveball because he does not feature both pitches in his repertoire. He features a slider that generates above-average velocity on average, which is 84.5 miles per hour.

Now onto the News, Rumors, and Commentary…
““It’s kind of like a broken record: Just trying to get ahead of guys and not walk people,” Holloway said. • Marlins’ Injuries & Roster Moves RHP Zach Thompson 6 career starts (all in 2021) Like Poteet, Thompson had his contract selected from Triple-A Jacksonville when injuries caught up to the pitching staff. RHP Nick Neidert 5 career starts (all in 2021) Neidert allowed one run over a career-high five innings on Wednesday night against the Nationals. RHP Cody Poteet 7 career starts (all in 2021) Poteet threw a 35-pitch bullpen session on Wednesday, and he is scheduled for live batting practice on Saturday.”
“You can see there was kind of a horseshoe shape to the little ring. And then when we got out there, he said it hit him right under the helmet. A little harder to do that when you don’t have that kind of guy. “It was great to see him get up and walk off, that’s for sure, but the news is not great,” Mattingly said.”
“It is a good sign that he’s feeling this good this quick, but I’m sure we’ll be careful and let the medical kind of dictate when he’s ready.” Latest signing The Marlins on Thursday announced the signing of their third-round Draft pick, infielder Jordan McCants. “He came in a couple days later and said he was feeling good and gives us his prognosis, ‘Dr. Chisholm expects he’ll play two to three rehab games while the ballclub is on the road in Baltimore next week. Miami has signed 13 of its 21 selections from the 2021 MLB Draft.”
“I’m very fortunate to get that.” Mesa shared a picture of Messi holding a black alternate Marlins jersey with his name and number on it. Mesa saw his opportunity and mentioned he was a ballplayer for the Marlins organization. “I just brought a jersey,” said Mesa, who has never seen Messi play in person but watches his games on TV. So how did Messi wind up with a Minor Leaguer’s jersey? Mesa told MLB.com that he knew the superstar was in South Florida because of his Instagram posts.”
“(Last updated: July 22) 60-day IL 3B Brian Anderson (left shoulder subluxation) Expected return: July 25 Anderson has appeared in five games for Triple-A Jacksonville since he began a rehab assignment on July 16. (Last updated: July 22) RHP Cody Poteet (right knee sprain) Expected return: August Poteet threw a 35-pitch bullpen session on July 21, and is scheduled for live batting practice on July 24. Originally scheduled to start on July 18, he was instead placed on the IL prior to the July 17 game against the Phillies. (left shoulder bone contusion) Expected return: July 30 Chisholm took grounders on July 22, for the first time since landing awkwardly on his left shoulder as he attempted to make a diving catch on a blooper to shallow right field in Miami’s July 18 loss in Philadelphia.”
