Before we get to my interview with Stephen Vogt, I need to tell you about the great "radar gun" app you can apparently get for free on your phone if you have a phone. Mr. and Mrs. baseballgirl downloaded it just in time to clock Sean Doolittle's first appearance for the A's this year.
The instructions are to press the Start/Stop button when the pitch is released and then again when the pitch crosses home plate. We noticed that the distance "60.5 feet" showed up in the top right-hand corner of the screen, which means that the app is just a glorified calculator.
