As has been well documented over recent years, the average velocity of pitchers across baseball is rising. It used to be just a chosen few who could hit triple digits with the fastball while still maintaining enough control to stick around in the big leagues. Now, however, it seems like every Major League team has someone who can at least touch 100 mph on the speed gun (think Rockies’ Carlos Estevez), while some teams have guys who hang out at or above 100 mph (looking at you, Aroldis Chapman).
On the other hand, we have the precision pitchers.
