A Look at Rays Pitchers’ Velocity Metrics
Andrew Kittredge
He throws an above-average Fastball in velocity and he throws it on average 95.3 miles per hour. We are not able to compare his Four Seam Fastball to his Changeup because he does not feature both pitches in his repertoire.

His Four Seam Fastball has an above average velocity difference from his Curveball, which is helpful in the art of pitching. He throws a softer slider than the average pitcher, his slider velocity is only 79.4 miles per hour.
Ryan Thompson

Now onto the News, Rumors, and Commentary…
“But sometimes you go to a game at another team’s stadium, or have an encounter in some other way with the fans or players of another team, that leave us feeling warm and happy and welcomed. We’ll also gladly hear about any time you helped make visiting fans feel welcome at the Trop. In this week’s FanPost Friday we want to hear about a great experience you had at an opposing team’s park, or just with an opposing team’s fans, that helped make you feel welcome when you weren’t on your home turf. I think most fans of a baseball team have positive experiences at their hometown stadium (if they’ve been lucky enough to attend a game in person).”
“Cash said on Aug. (Last updated: Aug. (Last updated: Aug. (Last updated: Aug.”
“6) The Astros forfeited their first two Draft choices again in 2021 as punishment for sign stealing, and they used their top pick (third round) in July on Whitaker, Gatorade’s Nevada high school player of the year. We haven’t seen it in the Minors much yet due to hamate surgery, but when Colmenarez truly gets going next year, he has the potential to jump to the top of the Rays’ list come 2023. 5) While Paris missed a chunk of this season with a fractured fibula, he came back and hit well enough to earn a promotion from Low-A to High-A, and he’s still a teenager. He’s missed a lot of time, first with a broken hamate the summer after he was drafted in 2019 and then this year, but the tools and the ability to play shortstop long-term make him stand out.”
