MESA, Ariz. – Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon said he’s waiting until Wednesday to check his velocity in his first Cactus League game of the year.
“I don’t think it was anything crazy,” he said. “But it felt good. I think the fastball shape was really good and crisp, and then we’ll see where we’re at.”
He’ll find that his fastball was coming in at about 92 mph Tuesday against the Diamondbacks. He threw two innings, and the one run he allowed came on a solo shot. He gave up one other hit.
Taillon put together a great 2024 season by most measures.
