Meh, velo isn't really a concern of mine regarding Rodon. A tweet I saw recently said he was throwing easy 94 in Arizona. I'm assuming when he fully ramps up his velo will be fine.

May 25, 20187 yr Cease has lost his command in the 4th. To me, he loses his rhythm big time out of the stretch.
May 25, 20187 yr Also before anyone freaks out about Cease's numbers today, he's clearly working on his change up. They are having him throw it in weird counts.
May 25, 20187 yr He sat 97-98 in a 1-2-3 first inning. I'm assuming that Fegan tweet is about Rodon and NOT Dunning? Just figured out it has to be Cease. Edited May 25, 20187 yr by caulfield12

May 25, 20187 yr Well, that's weird because FanGraphs has his highest velocity this year at 96.8 or something like that...it was Covey's best overall velocity in a start over the last two years, other than a weird anomaly in his 6th start last year where his velocity was 2-3 MPH higher than most of his other starts.

May 25, 20187 yr Cease is so hngh. Dunning pulled his start together after that adventure of a 1st inning. Could have been worse.
