Now he's mostly sitting 95-96. Yep and had really good command Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to keep my mouth shut because no one wants to hear someone criticizing the trade every time he pitches ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyJenkins Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Honestly with Kopech and Hendriks being flame throwers...i am okay with Kimbrel relying on his insanely good off speed stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colome's Hat Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 It's possible his velocity might be down a tick but Kimbrel isn't a one trick pony. It's the knuckle curve, which he is locating, which is what makes him so explosive. That combined with his fastball is why he's a future hall of famer. As long as he's locating that, he's fine. I would give him a save opportunity soon though just to see if he can get that added adrenaline going. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
