Kenley Jansen was the pitcher who gave up the home run to the struggling Kole Calhoun however, it was Calhoun’s third home run in the last two games. The storyline from the game was not Calhoun or his late-inning heroics, it was not even the loss, it was Jansen’s velocity and performance. Throughout the season we have seen two types of Kenley Jansen. The first, appearing in April, was the struggling Kenley, one who’s velocity sat between 89 and 91 miles per hour on his signature cutter.
The other is the Kenley of the last few weeks- velocity in the mid-90s with unhittable life on the fastball.
