Michael Lorenzen became the first player since Babe Ruth in 1921 to homer, play center field and earn the win in the same game. Bobby Nightengale, Cincinnati Enquirer
Near the end of the season, Michael Lorenzen asked Trevor Bauer if he could take a deeper look at his delivery.
Lorenzen is one of the best athletes in the sport. He’s a hard-throwing reliever, one of the fastest players on the Reds and among their best defensive outfielders. But Lorenzen always thought he should be throwing harder, especially when he saw some of the other pitchers who could reach 99 mph with their fastballs.
