Looking at Dellin Betances’ velocity numbers on the left-center field scoreboard at Spectrum Field on Sunday wasn’t encouraging.
The radar gun showed three fastballs at 92 mph and two at 90 during an eight-pitch outing against the Phillies in which he was pleased with his breaking ball and fastball location.
Nevertheless, Spectrum Field’s readings have long been a tick below what the scout guns from behind the plate were clocking Betances at 87-91 mph.
“The delivery was good, location good, but I’m still not where I want to be with the arm strength,’’ said Betances, who struck out Bryce Harper to start the sixth inning.
