Sometimes, like with Mitch Keller, we can validate velocity changes. He now has had two outings where his velocity has been 3 or 4 mph improved over last season. Pitchers like Aaron Nola and Eduardo Rodriguez appear to be solidly in the zone of last year. Remember; Danger Zone is qualified as velocity between 85-89 mph. In this velocity segment, pitchers get hit. They usually get hit often and hit hard which is why I deemed it the Danger Zone. Again, the green highlights are larger gains in velocity and red highlights are larger losses in velocity.
